Hi
i have stage 4 oesophageal cancer and am currently being treated with Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine which have caused me to have some of the side affects associated with this treatment . I did have a break from treatment due to having a stent fitted and was poorly after my next lot of chemo which I think was due to having chemo to soon after having a stent fitted. I have spoken with my consultant today and he as told me the treatment is not working. I told the consultant that at 55 yrs old I am not yet ready to throw the towel in . The consultant did say I could carry on with treatment but it would be a lot harsher than my previous treatment. I was wondering if there is anybody in the group who is having any additional treatment as well as Oxaliplatin and Capacitabine.
