October 19 I was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, went through the chemo and radio. All was good until they found another tumor further down the oesophagus oh great I thought, so surgery to remove the oesophagus was planned. Then along came throat cancer, marvelous I thought intensive radio was completed and now I am back to the oesophageal. Surgery to remove my stomach is now being planned, although I have the option of a stint and chemo. I am absolutely terrified thinking about the surgery is chemo and a stint the easy option? I also have peripheral neuropathy in both hands and feet and a jej tube more or less keeping me alive. How hard is it to recover from this major surgery is really my question

Thank you in advance for any advice
