@pcbeach Hi Nathan. Esophageal cancer can be a rough journey and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with the challenges this can bring. A good friend of mine developed this over a decade ago. You’d never know it…he’s fully recovered and back to jogging daily. But it wasn’t easy at the time, for sure.
By the way, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. There are several members who have experience with esophageal cancer. It can be so comforting to know be able to connect with others who know what you’re going through.
I’ve posted a link below to a discussion started by @puprluvr several years ago. She’s still active in the forum, along with fellow Mayo Mentor, @dsh33782 @dave640 and others (or their loved ones). Here’s the link for you:

How long ago were you diagnosed? You mentioned chemo and immunotherapy. How have you been doing with the treatments?
