MIL, age 93, now 95, underwent radiation for early cancer 2 years ago. Right by her esophagus so no surgery. She’s fine now, and at this point, I don’t think we will allow her to get more if it were to come back. But I’m not a blood relative and have no say in the matter.

“Do the surgery, if possible.”
Agreed. This is true for cancers in general. I’ve learned this the hard way with family experience. Radiotherapies can be stunningly effective at killing cancer cells, but the problem is that the radiation almost inevitably damages healthy tissues, too. And therein lies the rub.

In my case, they recommended a lobectomy over radiation. It’s been 6 years. Still kicking.
