Way off topic. Esophageal cancer update

[Erik Ks farmer]

Glad to hear youre recovering Kurt. Hang in there brother

thank you for both the good news and the bringing awareness of the topic in general.

i've never had major heartburn, but it turns out i have been heading down that same general path as well. my biggest suggestion for those who don't have one is to find a doctor they feel comfortable talking to. i'm getting to the point of knowing every MD/DO within a hundred miles of me. some aren't worth the space their name on the door takes up, and some are real gems.

i was lucky in that i had other issues going on which led to the discovery of my chronic gastritis. the lack of obvious frequent symptoms had lulled me, but the worsening of my other issues led to the timely diagnosis here. omeprazole (prilosec) for life, just raised the head of the bed 3 inches. there are plenty of more tools too.

we will beat this, Kurt

Good afternoon everyone. Just thought I would update you all about my esophageal cancer surgery. I am being released this afternoon after a 9 day stay at the hospital at Mayo in Rochester Minnesota. Surgery was very successful. I feel very good. Doctors are very pleased with my results. Now on the Kow trail of recovery. Lol. I believe I have about 13 incisions on my belly and right lower back area. I am extremely pleased, grateful and blessed with my results here. I just want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement and thoughts and prayers. Take care. May the good Lord bless your day.
