I wish you well. After recently seeing my wife get through those two therapies and then undergo esophagectomy, I would suggest you dispense with any anxiety you might have about a later esophagectomy (assuming one is planned).
Compared to the day-to-day challenge of undergoing cancer-killing treatments, the esophagectomy and hospital recovery are a positive solution and will probably give you a feeling of great relief.

Hello,
I have wondered about someone who recently had the esophagetomy. Is this the type of surgery where they removed the majority of esophagus and reconnect it to your stomach" I was not a candidate when first diagnoised due to scar tissue from a collaspe lung. Do you mind sharing if your wife's surgery was done through the neck or the chest, if either?
