Diagnosed with esophageal cancer Most scared of the Feeding Tube
Esophageal Cancer | Last Active: Jan 19, 2023 | Replies (57)Comment receiving replies
Hello,
I had an EGD on Wednesday. The doctor found a tumor at the bottom of my esophagus and the top of my stomach. It was confirmed, the tumor is cancer. I am scheduled for a CT scan on Wednesday 1/18. I have to schedule an appointment with an oncologist after the CT appointment. Is there anyone out there that has had a similar experience and can share what to expect? I am at a loss for words and I don't know what to expect.

We did (I’m writing under my mom name) - you have to be fast - choose the top surgeon and start treatments fast. Don’t be afraid it’s a journey but focus and the other side and it will go fast.
Careful with any symptoms…
Start treatments asap !
We are here to share !

Hi I was diagnosed the same. After the CT I met with Oncologist and just had a PET scan. Also meeting With the radiation oncologist and a chemo class this week. Having a port put in next week then hopefully the treatments can start. I’ve been told chemo once a week and radiation 5 days. Kind of a whirlwind but ready to get started and kick cancers butt.
