Well, a little update, in the past month, my husband has went from completely liquid diet to eating whatever he wants (more slowly than “normal” and chewing really well). The change feels incredibly drastic.
2 to 3 more cycles of treatment (FOLFOX, though adapted to remove some elements) & Opdiva.
After these 2-3 more cycles, then a CT scan. After that, I guess, they reassess the plan and continue treatments.
I hear people talking about NED and I’m wondering how common that is for Stage 4 esophageal cancer. . .after these treatments.

Do you mind if I skip how your husband knew he was ready to safely swallow again? Thanks!
