GRC

Welcome to the community. Caregivers have it rough, ask us patients or if you want a lot of our spouses also will give feedback if necessary using our profiles.

Hello GRC, stage 4 adenocarcinoma of the GE Junction, Mets to liver June 2016,. Holistic treatments (diet, sauna, supplements, ozononated water, etc.) with 12 doses of chemo and clear scans since January 2017. The last month there was a small low activity indication on my last PET, it was biopsied and ablated away. No biopsy results yet. Keep up the good fight and PM any of us with your questions. The only downside is the permanent neuropathy from the chemo.

Hello and welcome, we are happy to have you with us. Please feel free to join in the conversations. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer.

Hi GRC.
I am an 8 year survivor of Stage IV Esophageal Cancer. I am currently celebrating 5 years cancer free. When I was first diagnosed, I was told that the tumor was inoperable and I had about 4-9 months to live. I got a second opinion and found a surgeon who was doing a new kind of laproscopic surgery. Well about 3 years after I was diagnosed with a different cancer a rather agressive one (as if EC isn't agressive enough) On April 1, 2013 my Dr. told me that I had a one in a hundred chance of being cancer free in 2018 "Best April Fools Prank Ever"
Survival is not easy but it is doable and worth it.
