3 months post ESD - PET CT and Endoscopy are clear

Hi all, here's a brief summary of my medical history:

- On dialysis for the last 28 years
- Early Liver Cirrhosis from Hepatitis C infection (treated successfully a few years back), liver function normal
- Diagnosed in January 2025 with well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the GE Junction Stage 1-2, not present anywhere else, no symptoms, discovered by accident while doing an endoscopy
- HER2 FISH Positive
- Resection attempted but unsuccessful due to severe bleeding
- 28 sessions of Radiation ended April 30
- PET CT after 2 months of last radiation treatment showed "moderate response" only. Tumour was about 44% in size and 38% activity (Vmax) compared to before treatment.
- Tumour successfully removed by ESD in August 2025 - clear (but very narrow) margins

I underwent a PET CT and an Endoscopy. The PET CT said I was in remission. In the endoscopy, they found a nodule which they biopsied. The biopsy said there was no evidence of cancer.

So, now there is no tumour left apparently. I am meeting by oncologist this evening for his advice.

Glad to hear your tumor is gone. Keep up the good fight!!
