Hi @suitebrandi, welcome. You've come to a good place to connect with others living with GIST like @mwebste1 @deejay1950 @martiy @chayatexas @poula and others.
Brandi, you've been through a lot. Having surgery to the esophagus is no picnic. I think you might also appreciate following the discussions of the Esophageal Cancer Support Group as well: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/esophageal-cancer/
Members of the esophageal cancer are familiar with many of the trials and tribulations you are facing. See this discussion where members talk about chronic cough and choking.

Colorectal cancer too?! There's a specific group for that here:

Brandi, do you have Lynch syndrome? Have other members of your family had cancer?
