    Hey Girl, Hope things are well with you. Gary finished his chemo/radiation. Has Ivor Lewis surgery on 25 April. We are going to AZ for a little vacation and then back to fighting EC. I spend alot of time reading and chatting at the EC site. Hugs, Sammy

    How things goin?? Gary has been back home since Friday afternoon. He restarted his radiation therapy on Monday morning. The 2 different surgeries he had on his arm last week were successful, he continues to have full use of his hand. He is on blood thinners now and there should be no more blood clots, now we just hope for no nose bleeds!!! :-) He has been feeling better the last two days and has actually gained 1.5 lbs of the 14 he had lost. This has been a pretty scary journey for the last few weeks. Lots of energy is expended just worrying about what might happen next! Every night we watch for temperature spikes and quickly try to get them under control. He is constantly taking his temp, blood pressure and we keep track of everything! HUGS to you & Rusty... Sammy

    Thanks for telling me about Cathy's EC Cafe. It has come in handy (that's one word for it) so far! HUGS, Sammy

    Good luck with your test next week. I'm on the same "road" as you but just a couple of miles back. Thank you so much for the web site to visit, I'll look into that soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you!! HUGS, Sammy

    Hope you are doing okay (?) I know you are VERY busy and sometimes may not feel like logging in. It's understandable, but we worry... We are STILL waiting to talk to the Surgeon and get this "show on the road!" My Husband's CT Scan showed no spread to anywhere else... it is only in the lower esophagus (Thank God!!) So now we wait some more... I hope the two of you the best for the new year! Type when you can! Hugs, Sammy
