Merry Christmas!

Dr. #2- Memorial Hospital Oncologist:

Tuesday December 26th we finally met with an oncologist. He was also optimistic, so that's good. He told us to to not read the statistics online because they are outdated and not valid for everyone. He said the treatment he wants to do works 80% of the time and then they have backups. He said not to let the stats scare us.

He had a different treatment plans and wants 3 sessions of chemotherapy, 1 session every 3 weeks for 6 hours repeated 3 times and then come back to reassess. If it works, he'll have my dad repeat that 9 week pattern until the cancer melts away and is gone or it stops working and then switch to different regiment. He said it could take a year to disappear. He wants to put in a port asap and he says no surgery and no radiation. He said he thinks my dad is stage 4 esophageal cancer, T3, he was not sure about N, and M1. He also thinks it has spread to the lymph nodes and bones.
