Hi I also was diagnosed last year with adenocarcinom of the esophagus. So my oncologist and the tumor board put me on the flot program. This consists of 4 treatments of chemo every other week for two months. Then waited five weeks and had surgery. Waited five weeks more then started 4 more treatments of chemo same way every other week for 2 months. With all that said there’s more during this I also had a j tube for feedings. My tumor was big enough that I wasn’t able to swallow food and barely any liquids. I had lost 45 lbs and needed to gain weight for surgery and nutrition as well. Throughout my treatments the one thing I had was positive attitude and I wasn’t going to let cancer define me. Also important my oncologist and my surgical team and all the nurses were awesome!! And my nutritionist also. My wife and sons and sisters in-laws were great support system. It’s been a year now and my scans are clear. I have to eat smaller meals I just add and extra meal everyday. Can eat most foods now but still can’t eat spicy food to well. I am grateful everyday that I can eat and drink again and go on walks and exercise daily. Takes time to put weight back on but getting there. Even though we have the same cancer we all have different journeys through this awful disease. It is scary no doubt but with the right support you can do this. Hope this helps some wishing you the best!! I’m 63 now also. Please any questions feel free to ask. Scott
