Oesophagus cancer help

Good morning I have been diagnosed with Gi Junction cancer 5 weeks ago,all was on track for radiotherapy and chemotherapy then surgery. But they found a minute white spot on a lymph node not ajasent to my oesophagus, so I am now stage 4 .The way I was told was so cold . My pet scan is clear of spread.They even sent me for my pre surgery heart and lung test 2 days before.Im looking for other stage 4 oesophagus patients who have managed to get the combined treatment not palitive chemo. I'm a fit 53 Yr old female paramedic. 

  • Hi, I am so sorry you have had this awful news. I know there are a few people here with this type of cancer who may be able to help you more than I can, my husband was deemed inoperable and is having EOX, he is actually doing incredibly well, and can eat everything normally at the moment, you wouldn't know he is ill to look at him. Sounds to me like a second opinion might assist you if thats an option?

    Wishing you the very best with your treatment.

     

  • Bumping for you hopefully someone will answer. 

  • Oh gosh that seems so unfair . 
    I would get a second opinion . 
    I'm going for an endoscopy today because I've got a lot of symptoms . 
    The consultant said they will be looking for cancer and biopsies . 
    I too am a fit 58  year old female that doesn't drink or smoke . 
    Hoping they tell me something today . 
    sending lots of love
