Here are the first, the baseline prior to beginning radiation therapy.
This is a highly malignant cancer. I discovered it in May,2010. I had surgery and radiation. I also developed posterior mediastinal and small bowel metastases. I had chemotherapy. After a good response, I had chemoradiation of the mediastinum. I am now battling with post irradiation esophageal recurrance.
