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 .
My friend has esophageal cancer too. Today he met his oncologist for the first time after diagnosis late October 2019. Like you, he is to have Flot chemotherapy. 4 sessions then surgery then another 4 sessions. We were given all the facts this afternoon but its just so overwhelming isnt it ? So many side effects . Is there anyone who can tell us how this regime worked for them and things to look out for moving forward into this new phase

too be honest I wasn't too bad for the first 4 phases I had plenty of rest side effects I had were tiredness aching legs and sickness during cycles 3 and 4
I also lost my taste and tingly fingers especially in the cold
Always stay positive keep believing your going to beat this I did and it does help
If you'd like anymore info don't hesitate to contact
It. Really helps to get feedback. Good or bad. Just so we know what to potentially expect .
Still a bit numb from yesterday but have heard today that PIC line going in next week and chemo to start soon as a spot becomes available. So, moving forward.
