Uncurable oesophageal cancer but been offered chemo and immunotherapy to give me a chance of living longer

6 years ago I had cancer which was cured . Unfortunately at beginning of march I was taken to hospital with chronic stomach  pains it was found I an inflamed pancreas after a ct scan also some tumours were found unfortunately this time can not be operated on . They said because Its serious this time and terminal they are going to do their best and give me chemo and immuno hopefully that will shrink them and give me a 65 percent chance of living longer than 18 months . The immuno is a new type I am having it as a trial which is brilliant . Loads of appointments  though

    Im in a similar situation. Cancer has returned with no further options re surgery radio or chemo and Im on palliative treatment with immunotherapy which is working well, Im 18 months into it and although a bit shaky at times enjoying the bonus time. With you on the constant appointments.
