I was diagnosed with OC early last year. Had first round of chem followed by surgery to remove the oesophagi in August. After a few week to build strength I had round 2 of chemo. I have had 2 scans since surgery and thankfully clear. Always try to look on the positive side of life and think this helped me through. Had a few laughs doing chemo as we are the ones that can joke about it. Not all plain sailing. I have dumping issues like most and am on antibiotics as I have SIBO following surgery. Best advice keep as active as possible, a stronger body will help you cope with the treatment, I’m 67 male by the way. Happy to talk about my experience if I can help anyone.
