Chemo After Surgery

Subject: chemo after surgery
Date: 01/07/2008

In August I was diagnosed with EC, stage 3.  All tests showed that the cancer hadn't spread.  I underwent 5 weeks of radiation along with 2 rounds of chemo.  On Nov 27, I had an esophagectomy.  I was told by my surgeon that there was no cancer in any of the lymph nodes they removed and there was no viable cancer in what they removed of my esophagus.  He is suggesting that I speak with my oncologist about follow up chemotherapy.  I honestly just don't think I can go thru more chemo, but don't want to be short-sighted.  Does anybody have any info concerning chemo after esophagectomy?

 

Also, at what point after this surgery do you start to feel normal again?

 

Thanks!!
