i was diagnosed with Oesophageal junction cancer back in January. Went for an endoscopy as was having severe burps (like a lion roaring) and coughing a lot of the time and sometimes needed to ‘double swallow’ certain  foods. So it was a massive shock when they told us. I started chemo on 14th Feb - 100% of both etoposide and carboplaton for 6 rounds , last dose was end of June. I couldn’t have an operation as had spread to my liver , so classed as stage 4 - which I hate as people assume if stage 4 you will be dead in days ! I had a CT scan 4 weeks ago so waiting on results of all the chemo. My mid point scan was very promising as the liver Tumour had gone from 8.5 cm to 4cm and the main tumour had shown significant regression, which my oncologist was very pleased with.

one question has anyone suffered with chemo belly once your chemo ended and if so what was best to resolve it.

I’m sorry to hear of what you have been through, but pleased to hear the positive news you’ve had following your treatment: keep at it! 

My dad hasn’t experienced chemo belly so unable to help on that one, hopefully someone on here will be able to. 

Best wishes
