Hi all, diagnosed 29th June, failed cpex so having chemo and chemoradiotherapy starting next week to treat my t4n2m0 gastro oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. I live near Aberystwyth in west Wales so nearest place for radiotherapy is Swansea so I'll have to stay there as it's a 5 to 6 hrs round trip. I'm also in autistic burnout and ADHD diagnosed aged 52. I'm now 55 and was a diligent , perfectionist nurse practitioner but this burnout took that away.... surgical menopause most definitely didn't help. I'm gutted I can't have FLOT with immunotherapy and surgery, no immunotherapy with chemoradiotherapy and only 1 scan 4 months post chemoradiotherapy. Which doesn't feel like much surveillance considering I was asymptomatic and it was unexplained anaemia that got me scoped
