Hello group, since making my first post on here last week and being newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer, I’ve read a great deal on line about this cancer. I’m still two weeks away from having my CT scan and my question is this, what’s the average time till surgery after the Thoracic surgeon sees those results? Thanks and I hope everyone is doing well.

Not all stages or people can have surgery, my husband was one who couldn’t because of the stage.
Have you had the scans, ultrasound, etc, to stage your cancer? Depending on the stage you may need adjuvant therapy pre or post op. Your oncologist will work with your surgeon.
