Hey Blog Buddies - 1 x 7-hour operation, 1 week in ICU, 1 week on the ward, 1 HIDEOUS first day and night of pain at home, 1 pathology result that was not good news, 1 session of acupunture to 'release energy' trapped by surgery...amazing (good to watch though), 1 infusion cocktail of vitamins and minerals and 2 REALLY GOOD DAYS at home!!!
If you asked him would he have the Esophogectomy again? Though not the easiest, most painless or the simplest of operative experiences (perhaps an under-exageration), what is the alternative? He is here, has something to focus and fight for, people to get well for, something to hope for - so, of course his answer is YES, it was worth it all and he wouldn't hesitate to have it again.
Operative phase CHECKED, Recovery phase UNCHECKED, chemo phase UNCHECKED

Hi Julie, best wishes to you both for the future. Hope everything goes well. Your hubby seems to have a great positive attitude which is certainly needed to fight this damn disease. Have a nice weekend, Christine xx
