Hello I was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer. It's a blessing the cause has not metastasize to other areas of body my condition is also the same. I was 59 but I was diagnosing night about 60 years old. I had a esophagectomy where they removed my esophagus and a portion of my stomach. My stomach was pulled up to replace my esophagus. I was on a feeding tube for several weeks after. I was home recovering after 10 days. It's amazing how they do the surgery because it is partially robotic and very small insions. Your dad will be in good hands. I was supposed how quickly I recovered from the surgery. It will be some days that will be difficult and it was an adjustment that was slow because my stomach is basically in mu chest. So I had to eat soft foods and get used to the feeling of food sitting at the top of my throat. So stay positive and have faith that your dad will be restored to good health. Love is the best medicine. Your in my prayers and I hope to hear how your dad us doing. Wishing you both love and sunshine 💛
