Ultrasound Endoscopy

I completed the ultrasound endoscopy today. The doctor who did the test said that the cancer had not penetrated beyond the second level of the esophagus. That means that the cancer is labeled T2. It's still seen as a relatively early stage, but T1 would have been better.

I'm getting use to the drill now. Don't eat for 6 hours ahead. A little spray in the throat. Some anithetic and a nice sleep. A quick recovery in the recovery room. A doctor says something that I can barely take in. It sounds like good news. I'm still hoping to avoid radiation and chemo.
