Just out of curiosity, how was the esophagus cancer found? Was your dad sick/did he have symptoms?

Thanks, I hope so too! He's got a great attitude about it so that helps.
He actually had felt fine, what happened is that he started having difficulty with certain foods going down properly - not that he had trouble swallowing, but that he could sort of feel some of the food get stuck below his throat, as if there was some obstruction there. So he called his doctor and they did a scope down there and that's when they found the tumor.
He's also lost almost 40 pounds since January, which is partly due to a more concerted effort to lose weight, but unintentional weight loss is also a symptom of this cancer.
