Hi everyone,
Just a quick update that Dad is at the Mayo today having a PET scan and CT scan. If all looks good, he will have the Ivor Lewis surgery tomorrow. Big day! He had no mets back in October and has since done chemo/radiation so I hope the tumor has shrunk and they can schedule surgery for tomorrow. He will find out this afternoon. I am not with him today but will be there for at least a week if surgery is a go.
Any prayers for my Dad, Bob, will be gladly accepted.
Thanks for listening... Jen

Hi Jen,

Hi Jen,
My husband Alan had the Ivor Lewis in March 2010. He did really well with no complications. The recovery time is 6/12 months and you can expect a rough ride at times but he'll get there. Hope everything goes ahead as planned. Will be thinking of you and your dad tomorrow.

My prayers are with you and your family.........
I had the IL at mayo in March 2010. You are at a great hospital. The surgery is tough but you can beat this cancer. I will have my 2 year check up at Mayo next month. Hope all goes well. God Bless...........
