3-year survival rate of those who have had esophagectomies at Mayo

I would like to know too, if FL has Proton Bean Therapy. My husband is switching to Mayo Jax this Fev 2nd, with Dr. Starr. We can't wait for the appointment, since we don't feel comfortable with the treatment he is receiving at Kaiser Permanent.
For us it means that we have to move from West coast to East coast, but he will be treated with cutting edge technology.

@jcrs, Mayo Clinic's proton beam facility at the Jacksonville campus is currently under construction.
If proton beam therapy is recommended by Mayo experts for your husband's care, then the team can work with University of Florida department or Florida patients can choose to have proton beam therapy at the Rochester, Minnesota campus.
Dr. Starr is amazing.

Mayo Clinic Phoenix, AZ has Proton. I had an esophagectomy in 2012 and am doing great. You can contact Jonathan D'Cunha, M.D., Ph.D. , Consultant and Chair Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at 480-342-2270. He is my doctor and his entire team is renowned for their success at saving lives.
Phoenix was the first Mayo location to install Proton Radiation with the most up-to-date equipment. I'm in healthcare and at 81 still going strong. My name is Paul Williams and I'm a Mayo Clinic volunteer advocate. I can be reached by private message too.
