Thank you for your response. I'm deathly afraid of having surgery. What's has people experienced with this? I just don't want to be on tubes the rest of my life.

The success rate of removing all the cancer is pretty good. What about relapses? The dieting doesn't bother me. I'm a European trained dietetic chef, I can help others.

Any input re: the surgery

Thank you,
Take care

Hi,
I was diagnosed 11/22. After chemotherapy and radiation shrunk the cancer I had my esophagus removed 4/21/23. My subsequent showed no cancer at that point. In August I went to emergency at hospital where they told me my growth in my abdomen showed cancer that had metastasized. Currently back in chemo/immunotherapy.
