2, almost 3 years in with clean CT and PET scans. Supposedly 5 years is the mark for optimism. So, yeah, good so far. Adenocarcinoma, btw. Which is usually driven by stress induced stomach acid over a lifetime. I suspect this is fairly common in our line of work. So, "see your doctor" if you have recurring issues with acid reflux. It starts with a condition called "Barret's Esophagus".
Had I gone in earlier, I could have avoided some pretty radical surgery that removed 6 inches of my esophagus. Men are pretty notorious with doctors for putting issues off and waiting until it's too late.
