How quick does the tumour shrink?

Hi everyone, I am new here, I was diagnosed with stage 2/3 (they're unsure) oesophageal cancer (Ardino carcinoma) located at the junction of the oesophagus and the stomach.

I have just started chemotherapy. I am unable to eat or drink, so have a NG feeding tube. My only desire at present is to have a drink, I'm finding myself sipping various fluids and spitting them down the sink, just to have taste in my mouth. 

I'm hoping to be drinking within 2 sessions of chemotherapy and finally get this tube removed.

Has anyone gone through the same?

When could you take on fluids?

Thank you,

Christophe
