Thanks Gary for the positive feedback....they had also said they would use her stomach to rebuild the esophagus. Since my first post I have gotten a contact of a surgeon at MD Anderson and it appears it will be done there with a gastro surgeon and and HN surgeon. It just surprises me that this area is in such bad condition from the tx when it was not the primary site of IMRT-BOT is where the tumor was. I had thought that IMRT was supposed to be accurate in it's aiming and was less likely to create problems outside the target area.
Thanks
Tami
