    Very good news, but also..........

    First it is very good news anytime the have a breakthrough in any cancer. It started off as throat cancer and then started they were talking about esophageal cancer. I guess this just shows how little the news media really knows about some cancers. Head & Neck cancer is between the Brain to the esophagus, but not including. When I first saw my tumor photos it looked like it just might be lower than I thought and be esophagus cancer, which unfortunately has lower survivor rate. Not the same as throat, but very good news and it might even help us too.

    esophageal cancer

    If you have read older threads (much older) from this forum you would see there was a big portion devoted to esophageag cancer in the past, but they now have their own forum.   It doesn't get much print here anymore.  The site had a very differennt tone back then.
