Yes, today I am celebrating my first year after a transhiatal oesophagectomy. After 7 months of being diagnosed TIIIN2M0 tumor in the distal part of the oesoph. and after Chemio and Radio I was through the op, and now I am free of cancer and enjoying life with no limitations.

I want to let all the wonderful people of this site know this good news because I found a lot of help from them sharing their experiences and probably my good experience may give a little hope to others that are now in the middle of the battle against this tough ome other.

Keep on this good job and may God bless all of you

Thanks fortunatus, to be more precise "almost no limitations" , but for me and as you say reading this site , eat slow, small amount of food at a time, dilation from time to to time, take lansoprazol each day , etc its no a big deal
