    Rickyr1219 is doing well

    Rickyr1219 AKA Ricky Ruffin is doing well. Rick posts on the CSN Esophageal Cancer facebook page on a regular basis. He has just recently returned from a check up at MD Anderson and he has good news. Here is his latest facebook update:

    "Back from MD Anderson and Dr Hoffstetter says CT results are NED... Everything was great and unless something changes I won't need to go back until a PT Scan in October and see Dr. Ajani (my Oncologist). NED NED NED NED NED..."

    Best Regards,
