Not sure, Colleen. We had some good opportunities to ask questions. Would like to have had a better understanding of the/a non-surgical path following completion of chemo/radiation.
Also, it would have been helpful to know in advance, if possible, that inflammation from radiation would make eating solid food virtually impossible until two weeks following the completion of radiation treatments.
Thanks for asking.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 of esoph ca. had radiation and chemo. No surgery. I was inoperable as the tumor too close to voice box.
That was 6 years ago . I am doing great and cured.
