Hi all,
I've posted on here a fair few times now alongside my mom Angie. Today we have been to see Dr Fong as my dads scan results are back. No sign of spread anywhere else especially in the brickwork of his spine, which is a huge relief. Tumour doesn't seem to of shrunk as it's still very bulky but radiotherapy must of done its job as it's shrunk actually in the oesophagus as he can pretty much eat normally with a few exceptions!
He is feeling well at the moment as we have had the community team out last week to manage his pain better and since that has been discussed and changed it's made a HUGE difference.
My dad has been offered Paclitaxel chemotherapy in the new year to see if this can slow down the growth any. We basically got told it could work it could not. It's 1 weekly session for 3 weeks for 6 months if he can tolerate it.
I was just wondering if anyone else has been on this chemotherapy and if you had any side effects and if it was a success to you? After his first lot of chemotherapy, he does seem quite daunted by the whole situation but he was told it wouldnt be as bad as before..
I hope you are all well as can be and I wish you all a merry Christmas and I do wish 2025 brings you good luck.
Take care
Kayleigh x
