Chemo for esophagus cancer: Any advice on things I should or not do?

I haven't read much on this... just stuff like this:
Inhaling molecular hydrogen may improve the quality of life and control cancer progression for patients with advanced cancer. In vitro studies have shown that hydrogen treatment can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and colony formation. Hydrogen therapy may also improve liver function in patients receiving chemotherapy.

Jan 15, 2022 — For example, studies report that H2 therapy was associated with improved liver function in patients who were administered chemotherapy, as well as reduced side effects for those receiving radiation therapy, and protective effects against radiation-induced bone marrow damage in cancer patients[6-8].

Hydrogen therapy may also reduce side effects for patients receiving radiation therapy. It may also protect against radiation-induced bone marrow damage.
Hydrogen therapy may also reduce inflammatory responses associated with ventilator-induced lung injury. In a study of allergic asthmatic mice, hydrogen gas inhalation improved lung function and protected against airway inflammation.
Hydrogen therapy may also have no common adverse reactions such as nose bleeding, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, earache, or skin allergy.
So... where do you fit in with your use of this hydrogen therapy ... in terms of other treatments (combinations)?
Very curious. And, are you stage 4 and have already exhausted all other treatments?

I especially suggest getting your hands on the book by Dr. Junji Akagi called “Hydrogen Immunotherapy Makes Cancer Disappear: Advice from a Japanese Authority on Immuno-Oncology about how to Enhance Your Immunity Swiftly and Build a Robust Body.”
There’s also some very interesting podcasts, but aside from the studies, I like to take everything with a grain of salt.
Side-point: A part of the book I found most insightful is the doctor’s recommendation that “the standard of care” (by Japanese standards, anyhow) is not the right approach for advanced cancer patients. He recommends low-dose antineoplastic drugs so that the immune system is preserved to extend the lifespan as long as possible. To be honest, this grabbed my attention so fully that I haven’t read the parts of the book about H2 yet (but I have read some of this doctor’s academic studies on that).
But gee, that’s a whole other can of worms.
