My dad, Craig, was recently diagnosed with Stage two esophageal cancer after having a scope of his upper esophagus at the end of November. He had several doctor appointments prior thinking he had a bleed. His cancer was caught early and treatments initiated in a timely manner.
    He will need six weeks of chemo and radiation. He goes to radiation five days a week and gets chemo infused over 48hours weekly. Craig started his first week of chemo and radiation in December. He is tolerating it well so far. They are monitoring his white count weekly prior to infusing the chemo. Once chemo and radiation is complete, he will take a 4-6 week break. After this break, he will be having surgery to remove the mass in February. He will need a PEG tube after this surgery while his esophagus heals. Craig is unable to return to work at this time and will be likely out for a year due to needing a knee replacement and being immunocompromised. 
  I am raising money for my dad in order to help with upcoming medical bills. I want to be able to ease the burden for my parents while going through a difficult time.
