Let me start by saying I am Not a patient man but in a very short period of time I’ve found Esophageal cancer is a life changing event and I MUST adjust to my new normal. I am loosing weight and will continue to until I reach my new normal there which is about 190 LBS from 250 lbs. I wish I would have been more prepared for long term effect and management of this cancer. I didn’t realize how long and slowly recovery was going to be. I’ve had many surgeries in the past with relative quick recovery but this one is changing my perspective of what a real recovery is all about. I can’t spreed it up, I’m just working hard with the help of my wife and many others to live a new normal life. Lords Blessings to all others going through this recovery process, Allen
