Hi all, I got the above plan of action for my stage 4 inoperable esophageal cancer yesterday...I was reminded this is NOT curative but palliative.So although very pleased at Herceptin offer I'm keeping an open mind.Does anyone have any experience of this treatment for stage 4.Id be interested to know... good or not so good.

  • Hi L1z and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    Hopefully some of our stage 4 cancer members who have been offered Herceptin and CAPOX will stop by soon to share their stories and advice but if you have any other questions or concerns about either of these treatments that you'd like to discuss with someone, you can give our team of cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m. They very easy to talk to and will do all the can to support you at this time.

    We're thinking of you L1z and wishing you all the best with your treatment.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
