Adenocarcinoma of oesophagus

S3rg104gu3r0

I was recently diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma of oesophagus. Subsequent PET-CT scans etc and it was shown to be at least 10.5 cm in length - between the oesophagus and stomach junction. Currently undergoing Chemo and on round 2.

The tumour is currently operable with no spreads to other areas - would be good if anyone out there is having or had a similar experience. The operation would be to remove part of the oesophagus and part of the stomach (or all of it) to create the best chance of cure.

Would be good to hear others journeys too.

Thanks.

    HI S3rg10gu3r0,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear that you are currently having chemo and awaiting surgery. There are a number of people on the forum, who have undergone this. Unfortunately, I can't be of any help, because I have has 2 bouts of breast cancer and don't know much about this type. While you are waiting for someone with more experience of this, you might find it helpful to search our forum for previous posts on this topic.

    If you go to the Search forum box at the top of this page and insert Adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus, you will find them. Feel free to reply to any that interest you, or to ask further questions. The only experience I have of Oesophageal cancer is with a friend of mine. He had surgery in 2006 and is still doing well.

    I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you too.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
