A quick update on my pig headed h...he had the esophageal dilation today...doing well after a few breathing problems due to the anesthetic. Only one small stricture which was easily cleared. No sign of cancer in view during procedure! Now to set an appt with an endocrinologist...surgeon says do it, too much stuff going on that needs checked. Guess I have to quit calling him pig headed now....at least for awhile smile
