I was recently given a terminal prognosis for my Oesophageal Cancer. After having an Oesophogectomy back in April this year and post op chemotherapy treatment found out that this cancer had spread via lymph node into my Liver, now inoperable. I am ok with this as luckily I am now having weekly sessions of Paclitaxel, but also a monthly dose of Herceptin. I fortunately tested positive to take Herceptin as I believe only 8/10% of patients can do so based on HER2 protein in your body.

This has proven very good for prolonging lifespan especially for breast cancer patients, but wondered if anybody else is having my type of treatment now who have gone through Oesophageal or Stomach cancer that has spread to the liver? Importantly how is it going?

Thank you.

Simon.
