Thank you so much for responding. Prayers being sent for you and everyone that is fighting the battle. I am one of your Prayer Warriors.

Hi Jojoalexis
I am a 10 year survivor of stage IV esophageal cancer. I am not going to tell you that survival is easy. But it is doable
I read your journey and I saw it way entirely different from my journey. Your husband had procedures and therapies that didn't exist when I was diagnosed
I encourage you to visit our PINBOARD and BLOG page. You will Find lots of inspiration and information and a few laughs

If you would like to be a part of our recurrence conference call please send an email to bart@fightec.org. It is a monthly meeting with other patients who have had a recurrence. We will have an Oncologist on every call.

I am an esophageal cancer stage III survivor of 19 years. We created the Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation www.fightec.org in part to help patients with their journey through this disease.

We have co-authored a book called 100 Questions and Answers about Esophageal Cancer published by Jones and Bartlett and you can get at any book store.

We have also published a book called Esophagectomy Post Surgical Guide Questions & Answers published by Authorhouse that you can get at any bookstore or on our web site www.fightec.org

We have support groups that meet by conference call on a monthly basis. Patients calling in with quality of life questions and hearing how other patients have handled a specific issue.. Go to www.fightec.org and click on services to get more information.

We also have a conference call support group for recurrence patients. This group meets on a monthly basis and we have a medical oncologist that joins the call. If you are interested please send an email to bart@figtec.org

We also have a 24 hour hotline to help with quality of life questions as well. We have a You Tube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDkh7_H9BOnNASdmG4pdF0g . If you subscribe to this channel, you will receive notice each time we add a video about esophageal cancer to it.

Good luck

Bart
