Hi all I recently made a post about a 2cm tumour in my oesophagus ,today I found out it has now spread to my liver stage 4 , the doctor has told me that I will start cheamo after a meeting on Tuesday , but no radiation or immunotherapy, is any one else in the similar position as I’ve heard immunotherapy responds really well with lynch syndrome which I have any advise welcome or positive stories thanks

    Hi Kev,

    Glad your treatment is going well, we are awaiting our appointment with the oncologist now to discuss treatment. 

    We are based in the West Midlands and my husband will be having treatment at the QE hospital in Birmingham, we will have to see what trials are available.

    Also, if anyone can answer when we see the oncologist we don't want to know the prognosis just go step by step with treatment, I am worried the oncologist will just be brunt and tell us.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
