More analysis by radiology
A scheduled “phone visit” with the thoracic surgeon happened today.

| Smooth sailing |
The additional CAT Scan (CT Scan) that I had on May 22 did not provide sufficient information about the possible spot in the liver. The earlier PET scan showed reduced “lit up” area around the tumor in the esophagus and the surgeon assured me today the effects of the radiation treatment will continue to shrink the tumor for several more weeks. The surgeon and radiologist will review the scans this week. They may seek more information from an MRI, if that is a reasonable strategy. If they decide there is not a problem in the liver, surgery on the esophagus could be scheduled in June. I am confident that the medical professionals are working to achieve the best outcome and I await further news this week. Thanks to family and friends for continued support.
Thanks for the update Dave, hoping for good things!
