Combination of 5 chemo and 28 radiation treatments with shrunk the tumor (stage 3) to best case outcome. 6 weeks later esopagectomy was performed robotically also with no residual cancer found.

Hi @pellaw, I want to add my welcome. Great to hear of the success of your treatments. When did you finish treatment? How are doing today?
How are you doing today after your surgery? Where did you have your surgery done robotically and by whom?
Where did you go for the robotic surgery? The surgeons I have talked to do robotic for the stomach, open for the esophagus. I am just finishing up chemoradiation and will know results after a PET scan on Dec 14.

@pellaw Wow that’s great! I can’t have radiation so I’m on oral Capecitabine and Herceptin. Although I only did 1 round of the oral chemo because it made me really sick, so they stopped it for awhile. They said after my pet scan we can revisit starting it again. I’ve continued with the herceptin, so I’m just hoping this scan looks ok. Thanks for sharing:)
