I was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer in April. Was admitted to the hospital and began Folfox chemotherapy regimen. I have completed around 14 rounds of chemo (every two weeks) and am able to eat regular meals, walk four mikes a day, and do some light exercise. A far cry from the initial status, when I could not eat and lost 30 pounds. Get a good oncologist, follow the treatment protocol, and do what you can to help the treatments do their job. Eat small meals, stay hydrated, and try to exercise. Feel free to reach out with any questions; I’m rooting for you!
