    Hi Mary
    My husband had Esophageal Cancer surgery on Dec 10th. He had 28 radiation treatments and 6 Chemo. It was rough while in treatment, but he is doing well now. He lost a lot of weight but he was overweight anyway. Radiation and Chemo is tough, but hang in there, It will bet better. I will keep you in my prayers. We are thankful for our great Dr's at Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville.
