Sorry, I'm kinda new to this. Anyway my story ..short one. Oct 2008 kidney cancer..right kidney removed. Full recovery. Scans every 6 months. April 2010 showed thickening of esophagus..barium swallow..no problem. Sept 2010. Pain when eating sometimes..dr scopes and says sorry you have EC . Jan 2011 started chemo..4 rounds and 35 rounds og radiation. PET scan in April showed it hadnt spread so I had the surgery here in FLINT MI. Dr Silver...did very well. No problems what so ever. BUT with surgery they removed. 11 lymph nodes and 1 was positive. So. 4 more rounds of chemo. Finished that last July. Been pretty good since. Scared of course when I get a ache or pain. But very good overall. Seen Dr Danish in May he thought sore throat unlikely cancer and then it went away. Had a scope..all good. But dr said it didn't show the throat. It comes and goes. When I seen Dr in May he wanted a PET scan in Sept and I told him I was done with them..just didn't really want to know it came back, because he seemed certain if it did wouldn't be much to do for me. But I called today and asked to get one, because you are right it's better to know what Im dealing with. And maybe with a little luck it will be fine. Thanks for answering so quickly ... I don't mean to jabber on so much.
