Diagram of esophagus with tumor
Clinical trials for esophageal cancer patients
Summary of my story:
On 2022-9-19 my gastrologist found a large tumor in my lower esophagus. My first PET scan showed cancerous tumor and several local lymph nodes with cancer. I first had 3 rounds of chemo spaced 2 weeks apart. My second PET scan after 3 chemo treatments showed 40% reduction in tumor size. See Facebook cancer update posts for more details. I have now had 28 radiation and chemo treatments and I am having more side affects including vomiting, coughing, diahrrea, and feeling very tired. After several more weeks since the last treatment, I am feeling better. On March 23 I will have CT scan to see if all the cncer is gone. Updated March 8, 2023.
