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 

  • HI Navaraman

  • Hi Ed,  I am sure I have skin cancer or sun damage on my scalp so I am wearing a hat in this weather.  I had a skin cancer removed from my back a few years ago.  I caused all the damage myself by lying in the sun all the time in South Africa so can't blame anyone else.  Enjoy your BBQ we will be having a few of those this weekend.  I saw you put on another thread about exercise, I would be careful about exercising too strenuously because of your spine.  I asked the oncologist about swimming and Tai Chi and he said I could do both.  I haven't been swimming yet but started Tai Chi which is very gentle and I am enjoying it.  Have a lovely sun safe weekend.
