So, Hi Doc. I Just Got This J-tube Thing Put

So, hi Doc. I just got this j-tube thing put in my jejunum. I'm guessing jejunum is why they call it a j-tube. I was diagnosed early last month with esophageal cancer. Hell, I don't even smoke. I believe it was from too much medicine that certain doctors were, in effect, at least, mandating me to take.Long story. I am actually off some of the kinds of medicine that I hate the most & had the most trouble, actually long-term torture with. Really long story. Dr. Peter Breggin on youtube explains a lot. I have my own explanation. Just too extensive for my condition right now. I'm just upset to say it seemed to take getting cancer to seem to be enough validity to take me off certain medicines when I pretty much knew all along that they were wrong choices for me.As in I knew since I was 19, when my nightmare began. I am now 47. Well, I realize maybe I don't have much of a question at this point, except how are you doc? I am trying not to let resentment get the best of me now & just work with the wonderful doctors & various healthcare workers that I feel I have to love going out on a limb for me. Trying the voice search function on my phone & the word jejunum apparently led me to this communicate with a doctor function.Care to comment. And really, how are ya'? -Stewie
