Hi I have stage 4; oesophagus cancer. I was diagnosed in 2019 and oncologist couldn't guarantee me 6 months.
I had 4 flot chemo, on 1st cycle I got sepsis and ost all my hair but it then spread to liver and lymph nodes.
I had a further 5 ECX treatment, then 10 radiotherapy. My liver is clear now and last chemo was Feb 2020, and radiotherapy Oct 2020. I have had CT scans every 3 months but the last one was beginning of June, was 6 month scan, my results are on Mon 
. I know it will never go but I pray it stays stable.
I have a couple of minor questions compared to everything else.
***Can I use a tens machine as I have back problems and sciatica with I take tramadol and occasionally Oramorph. Haven't needed my tens until just recently where my knees are playing up which is aggravating the sciatica.
***Can I use foot peels, I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and toes. I had a lot of trouble with my feet during treatments. I always wear heat holder socks, even in summer...so hard skin builds up no matter his much I use creams.
***I'm 61, and I got shingles on my face, eyelid and scalp in Jan 2021. I keep seeing adverts for the injection, but when getting flu jab nurse said I didn't need it, only needed once. Should I be getting an injection, as I've read that you can get shingles more than once.
Sorry for such a long story and such minor questions.
Thank you
Marion
