Had my surgery a month ago was frightened but felt it was my best chance after watching every video on the subject i could find. Eating is much better i seem to have no limit on what i can eat the amount i can eat is also very good unless i really push the envelope i dont have any issues i can vacuum, mow grass, do stairs etc. If the cancer spreads to other organs they wont do the surgery mine took 8 hrs to complete had 1 complication after the surgery so far a plueral effusion because they have to collapse your lung to do the procedure i had fluid build up between my chest wall and lung making me short of breath because my lung couldnt expand all the way due to the fluid but went back to hospital and they put a small chest tube back in to drain it and now its doing much better and i can breath properly again. Im 44 years old and still recovering but so far given the chance id make the same decision to go forward with surgery i was stage 3 with lymph node involvement T3N2
I've never seen so many people talk in circles and not answer what they are being asked.
I had a diagnosis of established Stage2. Figured I owed it to my then 7yr old son to do all I could to not have his memory of his Dad being sad… Took the 5 weeks of daily Mon-Fri Radio & weekly followed by 10hr upper/end of Ivor Lewis oesaphagectomy. The operation may or may not have been necessary and was a Big One. First three weeks in particular was by far the worst phase of the whole journey since diagnosis. Gradually MUCH improved and I’m 100% pleased to have gone for it - I owe it to my family to be happy for the inconvenience to have given them a 20% better survival rate. My biopsy is 100% clear. Bless the NHS here in the U.K. ❤
Excellent one
amazing doctor and an amazing team including and especially Dr. Rowse
nice , organized
Blew my mind
The cost of being a woman plaes in comparison to having total disregard for patient care. I can give a personal testimony backed by video and written statements proving unequivocally Dr. Ekmen is at minimum provided false information in her patient care summary.
Greetings my name is Stephen winter from oakville Ontario Canada thanks for sharing this video i had cteph chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension disorder and surgery at the Toronto General hospital under the direction of doctor laura Donahoe in July 2021
I had an esophagectomy. The first recovery year afterwards was hell. I had severe GERD attacks with stomach acid like battery acid during these episodes I panicked every time. It was mandatory sleeping inclined to avoid acid attacks. I had 4 inches removed including the valve that keeps the stomach contents from coming back up. I am now in my 9th year after I was told I had 4-6 months to live. I am cancer free now. If you catch this early enough you should choose the operation because this death thing is so hard on your loved ones. I still suffer to this day but I have more control over it every year. My life now includes stool softeners, nausea medicine and acid reducers but when I see my three boys faces I realize it was worth it. I will be 66 this year.
The best treatment is Atherocare
'Promosm'
I’m hearing of this type of thing happening more and more. It’s an emotional ordeal for crying out loud! Did he seek treatment elsewhere?
Hi. You should have a full normal life like everyone else. Go to a cardiologist at least once a year to check ups. Good luck. God bless
Very good! Thank you very much. Dr. Wagner - Brazil.
Great video, even better results.
I watched your KZread video. Your every video is really awesome. But your channel and your videos expect more views and subs. I analyzed Your KZread channel and I found proper KZread video SEO is not done. This is why your video is not going viral and views are not increasing.
Your generosity towards my bad breath and acid reflux is incomparable, you assured me of getting healed just within 2 months and it was so. Thanks a lot Dr Emovon on KZread I will keep letting the world know about your good work and about your KZread channel..❤
I’m very excited and grateful to Dr Emovon on KZread and his supplements for treating bad Breath. the natural Products I got from him Healed my bad Breath with Traditional🌿Herbs #dremovon
I balanced morbidity with quality of life. I also don't like pain.
I refused all treatment including the esophagectomy for stage IB adenocarcinoma and a year on, no problems, so far. I have no idea of whether it just slow growing or has disappeared?
Dr.Boling is amazing he saved my life!!!
I've been diagnosed with gist of the esophagus ,gist runs in my family sadly few have passed away from it and I'm basically left fucked ,I live in ireland and I'm waiting ,I want the operation but the sergan is a ass ,I've even had to ask for a different sergan gist in the esophagus is rare,it's crazy I've email gist groups and not one has replied to eney of my emails i know this is old ,video but it's crazy
Explained well. ❤
I am pakitani what is normal heart beat pleas answer
Y video completel no
Excellent... keep it up!
That was all a bit... odd. I mean, who woulda thunk that not having a surgery that should be done leads to a worse outcome? Did you need a study for that? Seriously? 🤔 Then they've been wondering why people refuse, the answer being, "We don't know"-well, I hate to state the obvious, but how about you like, ASK them? 🙈 I mean, I'd do that if I was selling popsicles at Walmart for 50¢ a piece and people refused to buy them, should be a no-brainer when it comes to potentially life-saving treatments. At this point, I can't even make up my mind if they were interested professionally or out of fear of potential unemployment. In the end, all you can do is say, "Look, we need to cut that stuff out, or you're gonna be dead in a year or two", and the patient will either nod or refuse, easy as that. On a side note, my mother suffered from esophageal cancer, and they tore her open 6 or 7 times from all sides (minimally invasive wasn't even a thing back then) and left her in a state of unbearable pain and misery, softened only through shots of morphine all around the clock until she finally died (nope, fentanyl patches weren't a thing back then, either). So, the horror stories on the Internet may just be worth reading after all, and I can't blame anyone for noping out of that show. My heart goes out to everyone suffering from this hideous cancer.
This surgery was brutal! I’m two months post op and I can only eat about a cup of food at a time. If I overeat, I get excruciating pain. I just found out that it has spread to my bones. I regret having the surgery.
Your channel has a great community of supportive viewers. It's refreshing to see respectful discussions in the comments.

What a ultra disgusting educator point of view ! Gross invasive measures with a history of complication which have led to more surgeries , if all this doesn't kill you most of the patient's who have gone through this often times horrific experience some how adds to quality of life how ? Having to eat small amounts of food six times a day & calibrate by reaction how much food can be consumed .. There's so many non competent so called professionals out there .. & the team is only good as the weakest link at that point in time it's all hands on deck ! Selling this to a victim of cancer is already a tough sell ... marketing sucks beyond mentioning here ! Fear as a tactic sucks big time as well ! Confidence in the medical field has diminished due to screw ups ! You want trust have you earned it ? Are you so above the victim that you project such a disdain for those who lack confidence in trusting screw ups ? Just because specialist have jumped through the hoops & it cost them a huge a mount of money to be educated doesn't appeal to the cancer victim ! Pride among those who administer means nothing to the victim of cancer ! /... Some folks pay extreme close attention to details not adding to the patience risk for a crappy outcome ! The poor have even less security of mind ... No freaking short cuts or crappy workmanship .. If there was many positive outcomes with less complications that lead to more surgeries to fix the crappy job perhaps it wouldn't be a marketing scheme based upon outcome .. when it's a actual reality based option with less risk of complications the victim of cancer is more than willing to comply ... DO NOT BS the victim ! quality of care without having to under go more invasive surgery to fix the complications caused by the first surgery sucks beyond belief for the cancer victim ! I am facing all this ... I may or may not get the best care out there at the time of my treatment .. Even the best of the best have off moments .. trusting in human Beings isn't easy !
Forget first woman _______, Dr. Romano is a class act, among the best - aside from the milestone for her gender. She has operated on my daughter 2x and is one of the few medical professionals I truly trust has her best interest in mind. My daughter underwent an extremely risky emergent ECMO cannulation at a different facility by yet another fantastic female ped. cardiac surgeon. Despite all odds the procedure was successful. I could tell this was of course satisfying to save a patient's life, but she was also visibly refreshed after getting a pat on the back from a fellow female ped. cardiac surgeon who she clearly looked up to. If you're reading this I am sure you know who typed this comment, Dr. Romano and we appreciate you so much! Keep raising the bar and building up your community!
Super..
My dream ♥️
I’m a father of CT surgery fellow I’m not a educated person I’m a blue collar worker based on my research and reading there is a huge shortage for CT surgery based on google search US have total 4000 CT surgeons
Is it the same for typen2 achalasia?
What about legal elective abortion? Black babies are targeted by elective abortion; 20 million since 1973. Are there black doctors killing black babies in their mothers' wombs?
love the history ... a black man who took advantage of opportunities afforded to him and thrived
Thanks 🎉
It brings me so much hope listening to you, my son has recently had his aorta repaired. Thank you for the videos
Had my first one at 4 months old next one at 7 years old last one at 17 years old. I’m now 45 and that last one is holding on strong 💪
Congratulations to Dr’s Albert Pai and Lucas Nguyen for the win! What a team.
❤❤❤❤
I am now 73 years old, had the surgery 26 months ago. Recovery was HARD but slowly got better over the 26 months. I am always grateful that I had the surgery, despite the challenges it involves. It definitely changed my eating (4-6 small amounts), sometimes have motility issues, sometimes GERD and infrequently aspiration BUT, I am alive, with my family, exceecising 6 - 7 days a week! No regrets.
I'm the perfect EC patient to see this video and weigh in since i counsel hundreds all over the world now. I did do the whole schmear... CROSS protocol, esophagectomy (7/2020), then a year of adjuvant Opdivo. I am pretty much back to normal now... and still NED. But i have no agenda when i counsel others. Sure, my own EC journey counts for something, but it's what I've learned from hundreds of others that have taught me much! I've seen some crazy things. But us patients are transparent... and i find many patients who trust me more than their doctors... which of course i don't like... i always yell them i am not a doctor... but i do understand the trust they've placed in me since I've been guiding them on their journeys. It's very tough, both mentally and physically... and none of us can be guaranteed a dang thing. So i help them understand how all the pieces fit together to hopefully get them to NED status.
Thanks for all you do and be well.
Thank you very much for the great demonstration! Could you tell us what camera system you used for recording the procedure?
'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away' Is this how it works? This reminds me of when I was a 4 year old and getting a whack by my mother for doing something wrong. I remember crying but running to hug her legs because who else was there lol? Even then, at age 4, I remember feeling the irony
Wilson szeto is the surgeon I want when my life is on the line
Im just turned 22 and my cardiologist is telling me I might have to have this procedure. I played sports all my life and graduating college this year in May then this shit pops up out of nowhere. I’ve never taken any medication, never broken a bone, never had surgery, I’m always in the gym, idk how this could just pop up out of nowhere. I’ve always noticed I had a shortness of breath and got tired quick but it was never really a big deal until I went the the cardiologist. Hopefully everything will go fine and it’s nice to see some people in their 20s in the comments that have gotten the same procedure. Hopefully I’ll be able to graduate on time bc I really don’t want to do another semester 😂. But Im positive I’ll be ok. The doctors and facilities here in Atlanta are top notch.
