Hi Had oesophageal cancer op last september now find I have cancer in lymph nodes close to resection site looking at another bout of chemo sessions anyone know how successful this may be and what are the chances of a reoccurence? thanks

 

Also I have had over the time of being first diognoised lin march 2015 some really funny/strange /wierd situations when going for treatment or tests thanks to the brilliant NHS, just wondered if anyone else has and funny stories that we could put into a book and get published to raise monies to help fight cancer if you have please get in touch .  mike

    Hi Mickey,

    Welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about your lymph nodes.

    I wasn't able to have a resection due to a late diagnosis and the fact that my cancer had grown outwards and around BUT I did have chemo which blitzed the mets in my lymph nodes and elsewhere.

    No funny stories here, apart from being on chemo during a really cold winter including a blizzard on two of my chemo days. The side effects of the chemo I was on included cold sensitivity which caused constriction of the windpipe. Apparently, I looked like an Eskimo walking out to the car, including a scarf across my face and a woolly hat!

    All the best
