Ravenmom wrote on candy's wall
Hi Candy, hope you don't mind me writing on your wall. I have esophageal cancer, stage III. I have been looking for other people close by going through the same thing I am. My cancer battle barely began a few months ago. It's been awful from the get go, I can't imagine having to deal with this for years! I hope you feel better really soon.

Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): Was given taxol and carboplatin weekly for 4 weeks, then only carboplatin for 4 more weeks. Been puking up my toenails since first dose. Prescribed multiple nausea meds, a couple somewhat work for a while. Chemo ended about a month ago, still throwing up, hair falling out, still feel weak and tired a lot. Also lost all muscle tone.

Procedure or Surgery (Implant chemotherapy port): Mediport and feeding tube inserted. Mediport has been great. I hated that feeding tube.
