I had 28 chemo and radiation treamtents for EC and it worked. My tumor is now gone. I did have some side affects including caughing and being tired all the time. Scans are clear now. I'd be happy to answer questions.

what stage were you when you started chemo?
Hi I'm.48 years old very fit and healthy with no underlying health conditions. I was getting my oesphectomy 2 weeks ago then when they opened me up there was microscopical cancer cells. I was devastated. Now I must get more chemo. I had a really good response to my first treatment if chemo before I went fir surgery. I'm a bit in limbo land and quite scared to meet the encologist for the next plan.

Hi Don 👋. How do you make sure constipation isn't an issue? I just had it so bad that I had to go to emergency room 😫. It was truly bad. I wanted someone to kill me, literally! It was agonizing. It was like a brick was stuck in my nausea. I screamed for God to take away the pain. Finally they gave me morphine which eventually calmed me down. Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Doctors and team keep changing my meds. I think that may have brought it on. But I don't know. Now I have NO energy.
