Hi everyone…..I’m relatively new to this site although I did introduce myself back in July when I was first diagnosed with ‘melanoma cancer of the oesophagus’.
I had the surgery to remove my oesophagus on 1st August and it appears to have been a success! I am experiencing the usual symptoms of extreme fatigue and loss of appetite, but on the whole I’m doing okay.
I spoke with my oncologist the other day and she is suggesting I go One years course of ‘immunotherapy’, the drug they will use is called Pembrolizumab. Some of the side affects look pretty scary but obviously it doesn’t mean I will suffer with any or all of them.
Is there anyone out there who has been through this experience and can give me any tips or advise please? I know we’re all different and experience things in different ways but it would be helpful to share things.
Thanks in advance.
Linda
