I haven't checked in for a couple of days so I'm out of tune with whats going on regarding William. Would you please bring me up to speed?

Hi Dave,
William has either been banned or has voluntarily left the site. All his posts have been deleted and his "about me" and "expressions" pages are gone as well.

Sigh...

Oh no!!!! This can't happen....
I'm confused and surprised. He along with so many others have helped me so much. My mom and I are forever grateful. I hope the deletion is reversible.

Hello All!
It seems like my posts are being removed as well or censored perhaps because I am a friend of William and Loretta?

To all of you who believe in prayer, just keep praying, don't let this drag anyone down.

Keep up the fight with this horrible cancer.

When discouragement comes in just "look up." There is Hope.

As for my brother Jr. he is still with us.
His anniversary was just a few days ago and he and his wife are just thankful that he is here.

Remember he was given just a month to live in July but here he is.

One day at a time is all any of us can do.

Thank you to those of you who have stood by me and been like a family.

I am on the FB CSN Esophageal Cancer Group for those of you who do not belong you need to join in, at least there you can feel safe and free to voice your heart.

My prayers can not be censored, after all this is just a board, what is that compared to the God who rules this whole world!!

The world is changing so this is no surprise, but Praise God I know Who sits on the throne and He is there for each and every one you.

Come join us in Facebook!!

I can't find this group on facebook.
Can someone tell me the exact name of it?

What an incredible shame & disappointment
I didn't always see eye to eye with William (small matters always), but a permanent ban? That's outrageous! Willam and Loretta are nothing but helpful here. Between William and Sherri, we had our own encyclopedia of EC knowledge.

What a loss. CSN moderators must not realize what a treasure William and Loretta are to the site.

Hopefully this can be reversed. The Marshalls are a great resource and so comforting to newbies with William's long term survival.

Just go to face book and type in "CSN Esophageal Cancer Group"

FaceBook Link
I do not post, well I never have, but the FB page returns "The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page"

I read most all the posts here and at a couple of other sites and have never found any of them "offensive" in anyway.

We all have different ways of dealing with this cancer. I have had chemo/rad and THE surgery. It all sucked. I am scared to death of it coming back an I want to read what others have been through, especially those that have survived as long as William has.

What?!!!
I can't believe it! Is there any way we can get William and Loretta back? They are a HUGE asset to this board. What a shame if their incredible knowledge and helpfulness is denied to those who need it.

Do you all have a facebook account? I believe you have to have an open account with facebook. If you do let me know your name on facebook and I will add you.

If you do not have an account it is easy to open one up.

William and I rarely saw eye to eye
but that was fine. He was an inspiring resource to EC patients. He went above and beyond to help people.

I never cared for his manner in treating some not all newbies including myself. My husband is very stubborn and did everything his way. I stated that in 2009 and he was rude and insulting. He said I had been abused. Like what?

We worked it out. We lost a good man and woman when CSN did this. They should know better.
