in Esophageal Cancer #1

Hi, hoping to connect with Squamous folks stage 4 that were not eligible for surgery. I did the chemo and now on immunotherapy. Was told initially they might consider radiation but now that I have had a good pet scan (lymph nodes are now not active) oncologist is stating that I am never eligible due to original cancer field (neck to abdomen) I would so appreciate getting some feedback on this!!

    hi, diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. Since it has spread to my liver, radiation and surgery are off the table. Chemo going ok, save jaw pain, neuropathy in feet, eye problems and other irritations;) my goalis 18 month or more and a cruise!
