Esophageal Cancer: Anyone else?

Posted by puprluvr @puprluvr, Jan 29, 2019

I’ve completed 15 chemo treatments and 1/25 proton radiation treatments for my stage 2 esophageal cancer. I’m jst looking for helpful advice from anyone going thru this past or present. I’m a bit frightened wondering how this treatment will affect me.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Esophageal Cancer Support Group.

Just checking in @puprluvr. How are you doing?

I’ve had one chemo out of 5 and will have my 3 of 25 proton radiation treatments this am. I will have an esophagectomy 6 weeks after these treatments end.
