Hi people, I just wondered if anyone has had recurrence after oesophagectomy? I had the operation last year following chemoradiotherapy but cancer has come back locally in same place (its squamous cell). Gastroenterologist told me last night nothing more he can do but I will see oncologist next week. I'm just wondering if I have any options at all to lengthen my life (I know it is now terminal but don't know how long I have got) Was hoping for maybe immunotherapy but not clear yet if this is an option. Anyone had experience of a stent?
I was a bit dissociated last night but now feeling depressed and scared....
Hi Dean
You're due some good news after what happened to you recently. I'm sending you all the very best wishes

Hi Anthony

Will keep on fighting
Hope you are doing ok
Best wishes

Hi Vm123,I am so very sorry to hear your awful news. For Yvonne to have gone through all the treatment and then the cancer to have come back is just heartbreaking and the news that all of us dread hearing. For it to happen to someone as fit and healthy as her just highlights the unfairness and brutality of this disease. My thoughts are with you as you come to terms with your sad loss. CB
