Dont know where to start; have had burgers for 20 years, lost my toes (both feet) and have went on.  Just got the infor that Im on stage 4 (something esophageal cancer) and I have been to the VA where all the long, short & mediam coat drs are fighting over me.  I opted to stop chemo and Ill start here. Can you give me an idea who/how/what to ask - eg. time line etc. just want to get this over with but dont know what to do or ask. Dr. Perrin MD in Ft. Dodge is what I guess my primary Dr. along with HOSPICE AND GOD KNOWS ABOUT THE VA?An and all infor or suggestions would be helpful.  iV NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.  tHANKS  *HELP INFO - i DONT DRINK, SMOKE AS OF 20 YRS AGO SINCE MY DIGANOISE OF BERGERS.  THANKS AGAIN
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have esophagus cancer. It is stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not useful in this stage. So treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. But it will not cure the disease. It just works as palliative therapy. Despite all treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact. Consult your oncologist and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
