I had radiation and chemo treatment for esophageal cancer tumor. After 28 days for chemo and radiation the tumor was gone and CT scans have remained clear of esophageal cansor and no remaining lymph node activity.
However the CT scans have shown that there is a growing mass on left kidney so I am having biopsy on 8/14.

Hi Don , I spoke to you a while back about my dad because he had a esophageal cancer. Sadly, my dad passed away on July 24. He had stage four and it went into his bones spine lymph, Noyd’s and pelvis. I wish I could’ve helped him but he bled internally and because of those stents it migrated three different times with three different stents down to his stomach so if anybody thinks about getting a stent, I wouldn’t suggest it

Why no surgery once they had this sumbitch on the run? Were you stage 2 or 3? Did your oncologist or tumor board not suggest the esophagectomy? Curious.
