Looks like the November session will happen a week after I have esophagectomy at University of Iowa Hospitals. I wish I had known about this group much earlier. My initial contact with Mayo over a year ago by a phone meeting was not helpful nor was the physician supportive in demeanor or information. So I chose to do treatment in Iowa. However, though I searched online for support groups, I did not find any resources. After the surgery and during recovery I may want to log into future discussions but likely not until December.
Wow, how sad
Doctors put me on beta blockers way too long. I now have very bad acid reflux. Something i have never had. What is the best long-term OTC treatment.
I take Prilosec and also sleep with head of the bed raised 30 degrees.
Where can I find data on reduced CRT therapy for seniors over 70.
Quality of life becomes paramount as I age.
Most data seems to include people who are 40 years younger than me.
