My husband‘s surgeon at UCLA wanted to do his esophagectomy within 6 to 8 weeks after his chemo and radiation therapy. But in one of the preop testing they found his heart was not good. They did an angiogram just in case and found five blocked coronary arteries. They took him within two days for a quadruple bypass surgery. Now he will have to wait another 6 to 8 weeks. However, his surgeon says that he is still in the window of time that will be OK. So this gave us an extension we did not expect, but it still falls under the timeframe that the surgeon wanted to operate. As long as he recuperates quickly from this, he should be able to go in for surgery. Back to UCLA we go!
I hope this answers your question, and I pray everything goes well for you!
