The Next Step…radiation?

So, I recently consulted with a Radiation Oncologist, based on a referral from Karmanos after reviewing my last PET scan. It shows some inflammation in my esophagus. It could just be that and not a cancerous mass, so I’ll get a GI scope done to be sure. If it is a mass remaining, then localized radiation would be the key.

It would probably be 2 rounds of 5 days of radiation in that area. Although I feel great each day and am back to my fighting weight, we gotta be sure. My appetite remains good and I am eating well. I do at times still have some difficulty swallowing some foods, like bread and meat. I really have to be conscious when eating to chew my food up well and have a beverage to wash it down. I am taking Omeprazole and that really helps with the “acid re-flux”.
