My first post here! Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with a gastro oesophageal junction cancer T2 N1 MO in May. Surgery not offered due to age and other illnesses. After 15 face to face appointments and procedures I’m due to start CAPOX chemo - 6-8 three week cycles. My initial question is when is the best and worst times in that cycle? I realise everyone is different but wonder if there is a general trend. Also feeling in need of some positive experiences.
Hi MrsBiggles and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and having had chemo myself I know how daunting it all seems at first.
The online community is divided into different support groups and I can see you've already joined, posted and received replies in the oesophageal cancer group, which is the best place to connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Wishing you all the best
