Dear Carolyn

Welcome! Most of us know only about problems higher up in the digestive tract. Colon cancer is more common than oesophageal cancer but the outcomes are generally better, statistically, and I hope that your treatment goes well. It is good to be at the point where you can count down the sessions that are left to go!

All best wishes

Alan
