Hi Don,

I would be happy to talk with you. I had my EC treatment and esophagectomy 12 years ago but the surgery has not changed much over the years. I would also add that the EC group at smartpatients.com has a twice weekly Zoom meeting for folks in treatment.

Zoom meeting? (#482 552 6700, pass code 8417 - Weds 6pm and Sun 9am Eastern)

I am sending a private message with my email address and phone number.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Don,

I am three and a half months post surgery for esophageal cancer and went through radiation and chemo prior to my surgery. I would be happy to speak with you over the phone. Send me your contact info and a good time to talk. I am on the east coast.

Hi Don, had my surgery in December. Slow recovery but cancer free. Feel free to call. My husband and family very supportive but it helps to talk to someone who has same diagnosis. Surgery was performed at Mass General and successful. Maureen. 603-553-5877
