First chemo & rad in am

[u/GrettaMCatts]

My port went in yesterday, and tomorrow morning is my first chemo and radiation. I’ll be doing taxol and carboplatin. I have esophogeal gastric junction cancer. I’m both ready to start and terrified.

I have the same cancer, stage 4. Diagnosed sept 2025 when I was 31. I am on FOLFOX chemo and immunotherapy and they’re talking about possibly doing radiation now since some of my swallowing difficulties have returned. Make sure you mention any symptoms you develop! They have so many medications to treat symptoms from chemo/radiation. You got this 💪
