Hi Patricia,
My esophageal cancer was initially dognosed as stage 2 but my surgeon said if its in a lymph node-stage 3. I had one lymph node involved-my cancer was adenocarcinoma.
I had 5days a week for 5 weeks proton radiation and once a week for 5 weeks chemo.. the radiation shrunk the cancerous tumor so swallowing was better right away. The only side effects from the radiation was fatigue although it was gradual. I never got sick from the chemo as there were drugs to help with that.
I had surgery in April of 2019.
You're in the best Cancer treatment center in the world-don't give up-there is always hope. Hugs and prayers as you go through treatment. Barbara G
