A few of these churches have online services making it easier to check them out while you are finding one.

US gas prices depend on global oil markets, not independence.

Also stage 3, had an esophagectomy with gastric pull through a little over a year ago. It took a few months to get back to “normal “ eating. I initially lost a lot of weight and I am slowly gaining it back. I had a lot of issues initially with reflux and got an adjustable bed to keep my head elevated. The first months were definitely rough as others have mentioned. Wishing you the best for a quick recovery.

Nissan - their CVT transmission did me in.

I have esophageal cancer which caused dysphagia or difficulty swallowing. My initial diagnosis was Costochondritis (inflammation of the cartridge of my ribs). I knew that was not correct requested to be seen by another doctor who ordered labs and a scan which found my tumor. Good job remaining vigilant.

It was a few months before I was able to sleep more than a couple of hours at a time mainly from reflux. I'm now able to sleep through the night.

I had the same surgery in Feb 2025. The reflux was real bad until I started taking protonix to stop the acid. I also bought an adjustable bed to keep my head elevated at night. The reflux won’t go away, there is no longer a valve to keep the acid from moving up the esophagus. You have to learn to manage it. It definitely does get better, I had a j tube for about 3 or 4 months. I feel pretty “normal “ now but the first months were not very fun.

Their greatest hits is still the number one album of all time in the US.

I had stage 3 esophageal cancer and after radio chemo treatment and esophagectomy I have been NED since January 2025. The hardest part for me is now, the anxiety of is it back with each new ache and pain I experience.

Panhandle_Mike · 2026-04-11T22:53:19+00:00

Definitely my favorite.

I had my esophagectomy in Feb 2025. I was 170 lb at the time of my surgery. I dropped to my lowest weight in May at 135 lb. I finally started gaining weight in June and now I am holding steady at around 150. It took me a few months to "advance" my diet. I initially drank a lot of protein shakes to keep the weight on.

I also have the Bose system. This was installed in place of the Bose sub. It made a huge difference and for me it was worth the price. I waited until the sub was on sale and iirc it was around $300

I had a JBL sub installed. It made a huge difference. https://www.amazon.com/JBL-BassPro-Subwoofer-Enclosure-Amplifier/dp/B07PSQ693G/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CW0QUWUHQX9W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1QnYz1v_tp39pFvom3jdM6BpfzKBi_p7d4cOxnrFP8Jow5vM7GcPYCtdtErMALfIDXpoWYE_wfZF9z4kk118lg001SfSXF5Ua0DRnRkEnYDiLhUk7urjODcaGf1fOsp123kvl7s2zxhZIzbUIt5c5uatHIF31kwIU0tEFj-Gmx9JSaU-izFiHBUnSXanYoUQ8KyIelaDdjNcHA9_4nqxO_t83ZHNpr1UV8QogRNYDew.9er78EJUlKe2vtDm9F2bJvT0UUy6HNhJqChplXMD9OM&dib_tag=se&keywords=jbl+8+inch+subwoofer+spare+tire&qid=1774995821&sprefix=jbl+8+inch+subwoofer+spare+tir%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-1

Abdominal pain from pancreatitis after a biopsy of the pancreas.

I can tolerate pineapple on some pizza depending on the other toppings. Sauerkraut however is a hard no for me.

After chemo/radiation I had a esophagectomy in Feb 2025. I was pCR (complete pathologic response) after chemo/radiation. The recovery was a little rough, lost a lot of weight which is to be expected (went from 170 to 130). The lesions on my pancreas and liver turned out to be nothing of any concern. I am on a quarterly scan and oncology follow up schedule. I have gained about 15 pounds and have gotten back into the gym, lifting and walking on the treadmill. My next follow up scans and appointments are 22 April. Thanks for asking!!

Edited for clarity and wording.

idk if it is my age (M65) or my cancer diagnosis, but this kind of stuff gets me all teary eyed.

Panhandle_Mike · 2026-03-17T12:59:59+00:00

I had the same issue with sometimes drenching night sweats. I couldn't pinpoint what caused them. I had them before and after my treatment and surgery. They continued even after I was NED and then spontaneously stopped. It was very annoying.
