Hi,Mark
My husband ,45 y.o was diagnosed with EC on March,18,when we got a biopsy result from the tumor in his esophagus.Two weeks later we found out that hi has two lesions in his liver.As in your case-surgery was not an option,and we started chemo:once every 3 weeks with cisplatin,epirubicin and 5-fu,and he has 5-fu continuously(24/7).My husband will have a CT on june,6,so we will know if tumors are shrinking.When we first found out about his diagnosis were as terrified as you are.After first shock was gone,and treatment started was surprised myself how positive my husband's thinking was,and how strong he is. I did a lot of research on the Internet ,found people who were diagnosed with stage iv cancers and were told by their doctors that they have 2 mo to live and 10,20 years later are well and cancer free! We got to action.I put my husband on strict diet-no sugar in any way(juices,baked goods,processed foods,etc)no meat,no milk and milk products.He fills great,full of energy and even his symptoms(difficulty swallowing) is gone,which is very encouraging.Please, do your homework too,don't just relay on your Dr.and conventional treatment and you will beat this beast! There are a lot of cancer survivors!
Best wishes,Victoria.
