Hi
my partner who is 52 has just been diagnosed with T4N3M1 with primary cancer the lower gullet with 1 solitary mets in his liver, we’ve been told it’s not operable or curable but hopefully treatable. He has stated chemo and has IV cisplatin Every 3 weeks and takes capectabine at home as well, it is palliative chemo that he is having but I would love to hear any positive stories that may be out there, of people who have experienced the same diagnosis, he is also struggling to eat at present as food is getting stuck in his stent, this was fitted 2 months ago
Hi Weston2020
So sorry to hear the news regarding your partners diagnosis, my husband was 52 when diagnosed in May 2020
I am just about to dash to work, but I have been writing a blog that may give you some ideas - starting below
I will check back in later and would be happy to chat if it would help
