Hello. This is my first week of chemo/radiation therapy for stage 3 esophageal cancer. Symptoms included mild nausea and severe constipation. I feel OK now. I hope you are all doing well.

I wish you well. After recently seeing my wife get through those two therapies and then undergo esophagectomy, I would suggest you dispense with any anxiety you might have about a later esophagectomy (assuming one is planned).
Compared to the day-to-day challenge of undergoing cancer-killing treatments, the esophagectomy and hospital recovery are a positive solution and will probably give you a feeling of great relief.
