side effects of esophagectomy/chemo

I am 5 months post full esophagectomy, with pre and post surgical chemotherapy.  I tolerated the first 5 rounds of chemo pretty well but since the surgery, there have been some side effects from the chemo that I was not expecting.  I have developed large kidney stones and diverticulitis after both chemo treatments.  Has anyone had similar side effects, and what action have you taken?  Also, if anyone wants information on what to expect during the post surgical recovery, please ask.  I'll gladly share my experience.
