Lennox Hill
Netflix
Good stuff. Medical drama/documentary. 8.5 episodes total. Stories focus on ER, OB/GYN, and Neuro.

Very good. I enjoyed it. Even though a bit of it hit close to home. Mrs TB passed from esophageal cancer last year. So some of the treatments were familiar. The doctors were a bit more empathetic than ours. <spoiler alert> It was hard to watch some of the patients spiral down. I never saw the instruments in the surgery center. That was pretty cool

That was pretty cool My son has spent the last two years working with Radiation Oncology in preparation for med school. He has said how s%#tty that particular type of cancer can be. I am sorry that your wife went through that. And I am very sorry for your loss. |

Thanks irimi Yeah that cancer along with stomach & neck cancer is awful. The 5 year survival rate is like 15%. When the doc came out from the endoscopy & said she found a mass I quick googled it. I never looked again.Mrs TB blanked out for like 5 hours. Just did not remember it. She "woke up" when a surgeon came into the ER and was talking about a feeding tube. She "woke up" and said hell no.
I'm interested in the Dr on the show that came down with the neck cancer & how he does. It looked like the producers walked around that to me.

That was pretty cool I cannot imagine the depth of your loss. I do not know how you handle it. You must be very strong person. God bless you. I'm thankful we had time to say everything we needed to. And that she did it her way. That was always her. I feel for the folks that have a partner here one day & gone the next. Absolutely devastating. Since we had a lead up to the end I thought I was ready for the "after". Not even close. I have found out that I can cry anyplace anytime. I just let it go. I never was like that before. You handle it by putting one step in front of the other. One minute, one hour at a time if need be. And our friends help a lot. They really look out for me. They are good at checking in with me. I still think of her all the time... I was pretty worried about Mrs Sage. Then you go on the IR & s%#t got real. Thanks for your tots & pears |

So sorry to hear of that Mark. My dad passed from esophageal cancer as well but he was 86. He had a stent put in place and lasted about 18 months after that. Since I have GERDS and Barretts Esophagus they have have me on a regular endoscopy schedule.
