Maintenance Chemotherapy for the rest of my life?

I have stage 4 esophageal cancer with a tumor at a distant lymph node. I am in a second stage clinical trial. I was told I will have to take chemotherapy for the rest of my life. I asked if they could lower my dosage, and they did. I feel much better than I did in the beginning of my treatment, and my two tumors continue to shrink.

@droberson1915, welcome. May I ask more about the phase 2 clinical trial you're in? Is it a new chemotherapy protocol being tested? Were you able to take a lower dose although it is a clinical trial? What side effects were you experiencing?

Gosh, that's a lot of questions when you just entered the virtual room. Feel free to only answer what you wish.
