Hi kasianne thanks so much for the reply . Someone who has gone through this opp. This info is invaluable to me because of the unknown all the dodgy stats the doctors use, I'm not a gambling man , but trying to figure out the future has been so hard for me. I've had cancer befor in 1985 but oohing like this. I was young and courageous. 25 yrs old then getting a thirty year extra life span put on sounds good back then. Of course time moves on and time now 56 great survivor of Hodgkins,, but the side effects of treatment ow created my new Delemer lol. This self spelling correcting ipad drives me nuts.. Sorry off track. Think your get my drift. Can I ask where your tumour was in your esuphgus.? High like mine or low like most people? Apparently mine is in a bad place to operate? Have you been able to eat orally after the opp? How long till you could eat? Did you have a feeding tube..? Sorry I have a lot of questions ,,,doctors talking about rehab, after did you get that?i have other complications like arteries that blow out without warning happend 10 yrs ago now that was scary.so the operation really is doing me in.. Thanks again for replying Andrew.. This contact means a hell of a lot to me. ... View more
