Got Diagnosed with the above back in January, only found out after an endoscopy due to having very loud burps, more like a lion roaring. Started chemo within 3 weeks. I have had 3 rounds of chemo and feeling good, no side effects really except the usual fatigue. Round 4 was stopped due to my white blood cell count been too low, had to have a daily injection of filgrastim ( now that was not pleasant at all - aching bones was sick and had a bit of a runny tum for a day). Should be starting round 4 this Thursday 1st May. Like most people on here I was very dismayed when my oncologist told me I had 'months not years left to live', not going to listen to him, though hearing that does play on your mind, and it still does to an extent. Everywhere I look on the web seems too point to surviving longer is a big possibility.
