I was diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma I February of this year. 2 and a half weeks ago I finished last chemo and radiation. I had several side effects the worst of which was spasms in my esophagus(very painful). Others were neuropathy, fatigue, loss of appetite, eating and drinking especially are painful. I am starting to recover from them thankfully, the spasms in particular. Good old Tylenol has been my most effective med to combat pain. Also Lidocaine, cough drops, vitamins and minerals. Going to have my esophagus taken out August 25. The last ct/pet scan showed no cancer which doesn’t necessarily mean there couldn’t be a little hiding somewhere because the scan does not pick up very small infections of cancer. Nevertheless the cancer is 99% gone at this point. I am trusting the Lord that the operation will go well and that the cancer is gone for good.
