Sucks that your back into the rads and chemo, so glad it hasn't spread beyond where you found it - thank god you stuck to your guns and pushed to have it removed!!!!!!!!

I wonder if the molecular testing will determine what it responds best to. It's like a personalized form of chemo! This may be what cocoa pops dad had. I think you're right regarding the radiation. Not sure about the chemo (it depends on what they are giving you - but I think the rads will be easier. My father in law is going through 5 weeks to his lower esophagus right now. He just started week 4 and his only pain is when eating as it's going down. I think since this isn't in a place where you have any external irritation (like food in your mouth etc) it should be much better. The only concern would be skin and burning. But you've already had it once so hopefully you know how your skin reacts and can plan for it.
