Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | Dear Minnie, Oh, how I pray that the dr. was wrong the first time! I hate that you have had to endure the difficulty of hearing him tell you that you were no longer seeking a cure...when actually you might already BE cured!!! Sheesh! I don't know how much more up and down your emotions can take! I will pray that your pathologists are right!

Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 346 | I too have this feeling that they are all clear Minnie, that was just way too far in the other direction to be a fluke. I am so sorry you have to endure this roller coaster. You are going to be OK - I sometimes have a sixth sense and I have a sense about this.
Please know I am thinking of you!

Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | Minnie, I really hope that the head doctor who said it was all scar tissue is right. I've been away for about half a week because I had another esophageal dilation--but you've been in my thoughts and prayers and you will remain there no matter which way the results go (but I really hope they go towards the no sign of cancer way).
