While the biggest improvement due to my treatment is the gradual but steady ability to eat again, I also was noticing a reduction in spine bone pain from the metastasis. The past few days the pain level has been quite high, making me wonder if there really is any improvement in the bone tumor, or maybe progression? I will know the answer to this in two weeks when they repeat the PET scan. Anyway, in looking for any information about secondary bone cancer I stumbled upon a drug called CADD522. It a genetic or immuno drug that apparently has a very good track record in treating bone cancer with very strong efficacy. The report says it can be used alongside chemo and has no significant side effects.

I downloaded the information and intend to show it to my oncologist at my next treatment Wednesday ( which is for both folfox chemo and the two immunotherapy drugs I also get every 3 weeks ( making for a long day at the infusion center)
I’m posting this just in case anyone has any knowledge of this drug or wishes to also inquire about it if they also have Esophageal cancer with metastasis to the bones, or if that is their primary cancer.
There are quite a few new treatments out there and you would assume your oncologist knows about them, but maybe they don’t. No harm in asking about it, right?
