Everyone has different reactions to chemotherapy, but I do know the advances made in anti-nausea meds has been significant. Personally, I was on a clinical trial of Folfox 5 and only had slight symptoms of tiredness and tingling. Otherwise, it was very tolerable and highly successful. I had an esophagectomy on November 1st and now am on Optdivo immunotherapy. Again, very minor side effects. Wishing you well.

I just had an Esophagectomy in march. Did they get all of your cancer out? The doctors said that they were able to get all my cancer out, and no chemo or radiation was needed. I was just wondering, did they get all of your cancer out? I was never put on any medication as of yet.
