My first post! I was diagnosed Stage 4 G3 SCC Oesophagus / T4 N1 M1 in November 23 and underwent 4/6 rounds of Capecitabine/cisplatin with good results, partial shrinkage of tumour and evidences for lungs. CT scans every 3 months so slight increase in size of tumour in November 24 so had 5 radiotherapy sessions. All this time my swallowing problem had nearly disappeared but now come back over this winter. Had meeting with oncologist yesterday and have ruled out more chemo for now and also immunotherapy due to some lung scaring.
I have now signed up for Brachytherapy as option as do not want to just do nothing. I realise that may be more scarring and affect my eating forever so has anyone been through this had how did it affect them? I am actually very concerned about becoming more fatigued and how long it may last.
