Hi junebug0720,
That is great news about your husband! Mine is still in treatment. Praying everyday! Please keep the post coming. They are inspirational:). Take care and God Bless you both!

I looked back at your earlier post and look where you are. I am thrilled that things have gone so well. Our cases are so closely related and here we are. Please share your journey with others, it really helps to know the fight is worth it. Fight to Win, Win to Live !

Has your Dr. discussed with you the loss of teeth as a long term side effect of radiation. I have nearly lost all my teeth

Hello, My name is Brian, I was just diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma, Esophagus Cancer this week and am trying to get my head around it. (my dad, whom I had not seen in 20 years died of Adenocarcinoma, Esophagus Cancer last July) I have found that our cancers may have been due to contaminated water we had while dad was stationed (USMC) at Camp Lejeune. but right now I am more concerned with what is next for me in tests,treatments and surgery. ( I have an appt. with surgeon next week -- my Gastro doc made the appt as soon as the biopsy came back, before he called me, as he felt it was serious to get started on this quickly = thanks, BF

Please read my journey and maybe it will help.
Remember, Can't, can't do anything!
I was diagnosed with 4 stage EC
chemo, radiation, and surgery.
This is something you have to do to win.
I am a winner (survivor) !!!

My husband was diagnosed at the end of September with esophageal adenocarcinoma. He underwent a CT and then a PET/CT a week later. I'm not exactly sure why both were needed, but he did have both. Along with an ultrasound scope of his esophagus. Those first few weeks are kinda a blur, things seemed to move slowly and then quickly, then slowed down again as we waited for chemo and radiation to begin before surgery...

Hi Junebug, my husband also has EC, and just finished up his chemo and radiation. In a few weeks he will get a PET scan to see how tx worked and then on to surgery. Everything happens so quickly.
