My entire life has been upended and changed forever. Last January, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 esophageal cancer. After weeks of chemo and radiation therapy, I underwent what's called "catastrophic surgery" at Mayo Clinic. Seven hours later, my body had undergone dramatic alterations. My esophagus was entirely removed along with one third of my stomach. The remaining stomach was then attached to the bottom of my throat. This cancer has a 10% survival rate at five years.

I've done remarkably well although after two months, I'm still in the hospital due to many complications. A wide circle of angels has surrounded me - family, friends, and strangers have come to my life to hold me tightly with love, support and care. I feel blessed. The gifts far outweigh the suffering at this point. I've been furiously writing every day for four months on the Caring Bridge. Org web site under the name: nancyedwards1

Please join me on this incredible & inspiring journey to see how dancing with cancer is working.

Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?"
