Nelie,

Thank you for sharing the information about what to ask the doctor and also about the precautions. We heard today from a head and neck surgeon/oncologist from University of Chicago. She says she has success with complete strictures. We don't know yet how many she has performed, what procedure she uses, success rate or anything else. We will be making an appointment soon to talk with her in more detail. Are you doing ok? I imagine you are still in quite a bit of pain from the stent and tear in the esaphagus. Hang in there and keep us informed.

Joni
