Hi I am new here and have been doing alot of reading. I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer roughly a month ago. I saw the surgeon on Monday past and they found another spot on my adrenal gland, so I am waiting for a call for an MRI to determine if it is cancer or not. The surgeon says the outcome of the MRI will determine the stage, if the spot is not cancer it means it has no spread and I am at a stage 1, however if the spot is cancer, then it is a stage 4. The hardest part is the waiting, and wondering, and at times it is pretty scary, but I am strong and I figure what is is and I will keep on keeping on. I've read at lot on this site, and it helps knowing I am not alone in this fight. Hope to be around some, I guess it all depends on the stage. Thank you for having this site.
