Adenocarcinoma of oesophagus

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.

    I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of oesophageal junction in 2008. As o had metastases my liver, i was not a candodate for surgery. I was treated with ECX chemo only. Well here I am all these years later! A recent full body PET scan for an entirely different reason showed no sign of this cancer!

    Hi Janwes23,

    That’s amazing! I went through something similar in late 2013. 

    EOX (E – epirubicin (epee-roob-i-sin)O – oxaliplatin (ox-al-e-plait-in)X – capecitabine (cap-site-a-been) rather than ECX (E - epirubicinC - cisplatinX - capecitabine. 

    Best wishes
    Dave
