My only reservation would be the amount of support from like persons here since we don't have many esophageal cancer patients here. It's considered more of a gastro-intestinal cancer. Here are some resources: http://www.medhelp.org/HealthTopics/Esophageal.html http://www.onconurse.com/factsheets/esophageal_resource.html http://www.ontopofcancer.org/esophageal_cancer_support_group.php http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/11697.cfm There are many more - just do a Google search.
