My husband just had Esophageal cancer stage III. T3 N1 - He underwent the esophectomy (sp). While in there they found stage IV peritoneal cancers. He has opted not to take Chemo. and would like palliative care at this point. How long will he live without undergoing further treatment?
Hello dear. Iam very sorry to know about your husband illness. He has now developed stag 4 disease because of peritoneal disease. Only definite treatment is with chemotherapy. Because he don't want to take chemotherapy, he can take palliative supportive consisting of pain relief, nutrition care, religious and spiritual support etc. Average survival in such a case is difficult to predict, but it can be anything between 2 and 6 months. Hope, I have answered your problem. Take Care. Regards
