My husband's treatment plan is also nontraditional. His esophageal cancer metastasized to his thyroid which we are told is very rare. They put him on FLOT-D. He handled the treatments well with very little side effects and was responding to the treatments so he continued with 13 rounds in a row. While receiving his 13th round he did experience what a appeared to be a reaction. A few days later we were in the ER with acute kidney failure. Three weeks later, his kidneys have started to work again which means no more dialysis. What the treatment plan is moving forward is still not decided.
