My dad was diagnosed with Stage 1 Esophageal Cancer in March. He is scheduled for an esophagectomy this Monday, and is now having second thoughts and considering Photodynamic Therapy. If anyone could weigh in with their thoughts I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm just like Your dad but I have stage 2. I walked out an hour and a half before surgery. I'm still going to have surgery but I'm getting a second opinion before I have it. They were going to remove all of my esophagus and I thought I could just have part of it removed. Surgery is still the best way to go for Your Dad and I Believe if We will be survivors.
