X-Message-Number: 28276 Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 20:13:55 -0700 (PDT) From: DAVID KAIRYS <> Subject: new guy has questions --0-371232073-1154488435=:55170 As a 54 yr old husband and dad of 3 teens, I am celebrating my 23 rd month of survival after a diagnosis of gastro-esophageal adenocarcinoma, stage 3.... The medical/surgical literature from mid 70s to 2005 yields expected survival times ranging from 6 to 18 months, so I was heartened when a prospective study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine of 250 similarly-diagnosed and similarly treated patients showed 36 % lived at least 5 yrs after initial diagnosis. I would like to venture into this field via this computer. I have already visited Alcor's home page. What else do you folks recommend? David J.
