Hi I have recently been diagnosed with a tumor on my esophacus and have been told it is curable with flot chemo and then surgery. Has anyone ever had flot chemo as I'm told it is very strong .
Hi. How did your flot chemo treatment go and your operation. I started flot 2 days ago. Then op. 4 sessions of flot over 8 weeks. Then a projected op 13th feb. Wish me luck please. Regards chris
my first four lots of flot went quite well had the usual leg aches tingly fingers slight sickness and loss of appetite also I list my sense of taste too
my operation went very well 9 and half hours they had to take part of my stomach away to make a new lower part of my oesophagus also they removed my lymph nodes from where they expect it to spread
I was out of hospital in 8 days
the second phase of flot after surgerywas much harder as there was nothing for it to attack I could only manage a further 3 more cycles but the oncologist said as long as you can have 80% of the recommened course they are happy with thst
its now nearly 12 months since my op I gradually put my weight back on and feeling quite well and strong
hope all goes well with your treatment and operation
