Last week, my brother (53) found out he has a tumor apparently at the base of the esohagus roughly 1 1/4 inches and evidence of invasion of the lymph glands. Thoracic surgeon has prescribed chemotherapy and no surgery at this time. For me, this brings back some horrible memories of dealing with this terrible disease.
