@justtrust, hearing that your husband has stage 4 cancer is a tough blow. But there are many here to tell you that one can LIVE with esophageal cancer. @naomicanada, can tell you about her mom. Also meet @ravyn @sjw6358 @eterry and @lori57216

You're not alone. We're here with you.

What chemo and immunotherapy has he started?

Thank you, Colleen.
He’s on FOLFOX and Opdivo (nivolumab).
He had his first cycle. He was meant to start his 2nd cycle this past week, but it had to be pushed back because his immune system needed more recovery time.
