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.

My 71st Birthday Photo
This is what it is all about. Here is a photo of me with 3 of my granddaughters, Eva (age 10), Sara (age 4) and Bel (age 2).
David, you look really good. And those 3 granddaughters have to be a real morale-booster. Happy Birthday and thanks for recording your experiences here. s/georgemurraymerkel@gmail.com
