in Esophageal Cancer #1

Hi, I'm Nan

I'm 71 and had surgery for gastro esophageal cancer 6 months ago. It was a rough surgery and I had stomach issues. Finally about 2 wks ago I was feeling like my old self again and was very happy. Now a week ago they did a pet scan and found a suspicious tumor at the gastro esophageal junction again. They took a sample of the tumor (please excuse my spelling). I'm waiting for the results of the biopsy. Has anyone here had their esophageal cancer come back so quickly. I'm scared because I looked it up on the net and the prognosis isn't very good and I'm very scared.

    Hi, Sorry to hear your news. I had my Esophagectomy on the 8th of July and also 71 years old. My recent scan showed no new tumours. You must be gutted. After your first operation, did any of the lymph nodes show cancer? My biopsy said 32 removed, zero showing cancer.
