osophagus cancer diagnosis

Hi,

I have recently been diagnosed with oesophagus cancer stage 3 and have come across this forum while googling, since the middle of September, I have had a plethora of tests and have been very well treated by the hospital staff, I’m starting my FLOT treatment in 9 days’ time a regime of 4 rounds 2 weeks apart then hopefully followed by surgery and then another FLOT regime.

  • Hi Rayb 6 years ago I was diagnosed with the same . I had flot chemo as well 4 sessions major surgery then some more chemo . Flot made me feel like *** but I had six yesrs of good quality life . Unfortunately at beginning of March I was taken into hospital with inflamed pancrease i had a ct scan then a mri scan . Which unfortunately it gound three tumors which were behind galblader not pancrease but they caused problem . They cant be operated on this time . I am taking part in trials for immunothrepy and chemotherapy . It all seems ok got ct scan next month to see how they are doing because its aggresive this time . Chemo knocks me for six 

  • Oh and the j tubes- Husbands finally just fell out . It was useful pumping calories in when he was fast asleep , took the pressure off from the incessant nagging about his weight. So just go with it. As for post op eating- they had him on food 2 day after sugery- jelly and uce cream type stuff. They chucked him out of hospital on Xmas eve - 9 days post op and he did a fair job of Xmas dinner the next day
