This series follows Terry as he discovers he has esophageal cancer and life after having an Esophagectomy. Find out what its like to go thru the recovery process of this procedure and living without a stomach.
I missed the window to have surgery. I missed my only chance. The cancer is growing daily... I will receive some palative radiation treatment just to swallow more than liquids. But I've been given a short time - less than a year. I'm on my way out. :-(
So Sorry to hear that Jeremy. When I found out I had this cancer I thought I was on my way out also. its amazing the different thoughts you have to battle when you receive this news. I don't even know what I can say to you to help. Hopefully you will be rememebered as a kind and loving person from the people around you. My condolences to you.
I have finished chemo and radiation for almost a month now I have felt normal again. I can eat whatever I want with no problems. I go in in 2 more days for a Pet scan. I am debating on if cancer is gone whether or not to do surgery. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I had to have an eshopigectimy last September. I had the terrible cough because my vocal cords were paralyzed. My epidural messed up to, though it didn't break it came out. I was in Barnes Jewish in St. Louis for two weeks. I hope you are doing better.
