March 2007 Radiation

March 2007, I was scanned and another para esophageal mass was found. This time it was dangerously close to the inferior vena cava line. If the tumor invades the inferior vena cava, it could cause internal bleeding and I would die within minutes I was told.
One of the main concerns is there was no space between the tumor and the inferior vena cava.

This is when I did 7 weeks of radiation (Tomotherapy). There are 90 Tomo machines in the WORLD and 4 in the state of Florida. One of the machines happened to be across the street from Dr. Nguyen’s office. How lucky am I. :-)
