In 2002 I was diagnosed with stage 1 esophageal
cancer. I did not have chemo. or radiation. I did
have two thirds of my esophagus removed. I have
been cancer free for 7 years, however i have never
felt the same since the radical surgery was performed. I am now 140 lbs. After i eat, even
small amounts i am bloated. My bowels do not
fuction properly. I never feel good, has anyone
experienced the way that i feel?
