Duke Medical Center was my pick for my treatment. I wanted the best facilities and after much work on the computer, I found that Duke and Sloan Kettering in NY were tied for the most surgeries done per year and the success rate was just about the same. Dr Thomas D'Amico was my wonderful surgeon (and not trusting anyone I got three opinions) Dr Brian Czito is my Radiation Oncologist, and Johanna Bendell is my Oncologist. I will soon be four years from surgery (and I had lymph node envolvement) with clear CT's and blood work up. I had the stomach pull up, a J tube for about six weeks and I had surgery first and chemo and radiation after the surgery. I wish you luck. Remember, EVERY health care provider that I talked to said you must do this at a facility with a surgeon that does a lot of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
