On January 7th, 2008 I received a diagnosis of stage 4 esophageal cancer following an endoscopy that I had scheduled to investigate intermittent difficulty I had been having with swallowing food. Since then I have had numerous chemotherapy treatments and multiple remission/recurrence scenarios. This blog is so that friends and family can follow along as I fight this battle.

Final testing before MSKCC
The results from my CT scan on January 22nd prompted the need for a PET scan which I had yesterday. I expect results early next week and my first visit to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC is scheduled for Wednesday, 2/6. At this point I'm very anxious to complete the diagnosis process and move into treatment. Although I'm feeling generally "not great" I've been well enough to continue cycling on weekends. The weather has cooperated enough and I've been doing some cold weather 30-mile rides with my cycling buddies. I hope to get in one more of those before the Super Bowl festivities tomorrow and before I visit MSKCC next week.
