Esophageal / EG Junction Cancers

How do I get through the side effects after my first round of treatment?

Treatment one is killing me. I had my first round Monday and Tuesday. I hit a wall Tuesday night and can’t seem to get over it. I am very limited on pushing fluids through because of tumor in esophagus so I’m limited to the jtube and it’s such a hassle that I haven’t even started it today. Does this get any better

How is Taxol working after Keytruda failed for lymph node cancer?

It has been a minute since I have wrote anything. Keytruda plus the other chemo drugs, did nothing but cause major mouth leasons and open sores. 2 of the 3 amigos grew larger. Sitting on nerve bundles they caused severe pain. Did 15 rounds of radiation to subdue my lymphnode buddies. I am now on taxol another drug as a 1 day a week regime to keep the cancer from moving or growing. I am pain free people! Healing, gaining some needed weight back. Back in my garden, walking my old man Beagle as well. The last statement might be the other way. Llol. I just finished my first 3 wks and am currently on a break week. Will be getting a pet scan in 4 weeks to checks on the 3 Amigos. Hope all of you are responding well to your treatments. Will post again in 4 weeks
