Thank you. I just had another EGD/sonogram yesterday. I should be seeing oncology team soon. I see surgeon next week. How much radiation/chemotherapy did you have to receive, or for how long? And did you receive it through Iv/or pills, or port?

29 radiation treatments, 5 days a week, and 4 chemo treatments 1 day a week at the same time. Did IV since chemo was short. Everyone is different, so yours may vary. I’m 4 weeks since my last chemo, and am able to eat and drink pretty much anything. After additional time of healing, I’ll have surgery on June 14.

Hope this answered your question.
