Hi does anyone know of a five year survival after receiving flot chemo for oesophagus cancer stage 3? My husband is 6months post surgery and currently no detectable signs of cancer.
That sounds really promising. Overall OC survival rates have been slowly improving on an annual basis since I was diagnosed at Stage 4 in late 2013.
Be careful where you take information from as many sites still quote out of date statistics ... these people have up to date stats www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../survival
These stats are only useful when applied to large numbers of patients and shouldn't ever be used to try to predict a single person's chances as our cancers and our bodies are all uniquely different.
The statistics on cancer research own site show survival rates for stage 3 oesophagus cancer have gone down. Last year it was 21% now it is 15 to 18% for 2013 to 2017.
I am aware everyone is different. It massively frustrates me the drs won't quantify what they mean by high risk. My husband was told he is at high risk of recurrence. This isn't helped by the fact he is still smoking
