My husband is currently on a trial for this type of cancer, he has stage 3 with a slight chance of surgery after the chemo and immunotherapy cycles.
We found the waiting for test results horrendous, he first went to the hospital at the beginning of October, we would wait a week after each test for the results, he finally started his treatment a week before christmas, we're now halfway through, he's not had any of the bad side affects from either immunotherapy or chemo and actually feels that eating is now slightly easier, Still a long way to go and we won't know if he can have surgery until the surgeon has done aother laparoscopy at the ned of the treatment,
We take each day as it comes, he's still managing to work - fortunately he can work from home - he gets tired a lot and he tends to be 'off' for a day or so after the IV's.
Feel free to ask me anything, I'll do my best to answer, i know from our experience that it is a very traumatic time waiting on results
Hi my husband also has stage 3 oesophagus cancer. How long did you wait from diagnosis to first treatment? It's been 6 weeks so far for my husband and we haven't had the planning meeting yet.
