My husband had Stage 3 in October of last year. He had 5 treatments of Chemo and 26 treatments of proton radiation from November to January after which he had a espohagectomy in March. The recovery for him was long and he had a setback or two, but Mayo staff was helping him every step of the process. He is now eating smaller amounts of food but normal foods (with some exceptions). He is working now to build up his iron levels and exercise more to build his endurance.

We send you our prayers and encourage you to stay positive and rely on the Mayo staff and family to help support you through this process.
