If you read my blog you will see we are in a similar situation. Been through lots of chemo, which wasn't really successful. But also he has had a 2 week course of palliative radiotherapy which has done a great job with the swallowing, although it can only be done once from outside the body, it can be done again from inside the gullet as a one off, then you still have the option of a stent later if needed. We still feel there are options avaliable to us later. Has radio not been offered to you?
No radio has been offered - I don't know why - perhaps because of the spread to the liver. I have to say very little has/is being explained to us and the oncologist was so gloomy - nothing much on offer but the six rounds of chemo. It was all such a whirl to begin with that we had not a clue about what questions we should be asking.
Now I must look at your blog! I have sent a message. I wish you both well. Keep in touch. And thanks again - you have given some other angles to investigate.
