Hello group, I hope everyone is doing well and appointments are going good. When I first posted on here I had just been diagnosed with esophageal cancer, I knew I had to do a CT scan and thought afterwards I would meet with the surgeon and get surgery. The process is anything but quick, I got a call from his nurse advising me of all the testing required before I get the consultation with him. I had no idea it was so in-depth, three breathing tests yesterday, a 3 hour stress test today and a few other tests scheduled. I guess as fast as I want this cancer gone, there are many steps to take to insure my body is healthy enough. I hope everyone is keeping faith and staying positive.
