Hello everyone, I just was looking for anyones experience after cancer treatment. My mom has finished her chemo around 4 weeks ago now. She was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer 6cm in the upper part of oesophagus and it only spread to 2 nearby nodes. She has had chemo and then 5 weeks worth of radiation and also has a NG feeding tube in due to not being able to swallow compfortably. Her symptoms before the diagnosis were acid reflux, pain in the upper back and not being able.to swallow food etc. After the treatment wich has now ended and we are awaiting cat scan in June time but her symptoms of not being able to swallow and acid and upper back pain seems to have returned. Has anyone experienced any of there symptoms still after treatment?
Many thanks for taking the time to read. katie
