[|Human|] I have a daughter in law with oesophagus cancer and has had for 2 years. What is the life expectancy? Cancer had metasticized to the lungs and liver but after being on a trial drug those tumors have disappeared. However the cancer is the oesophagus still remains but is the size of a small finger nail. Is radiotherapy an option and if so what are the chances of the cancer disappearing. Currently has chemo treatment every 3 weeks and has done so for the past 2 years. How can the body sustain the amount of chemo being in the body for such a long period of time? Is there any hope that one day we will be celebrating her cancer free? The lady is 36 years of age. Thank you. Leigh Swanson
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has esophageal cancer with metastasis to lung and liver. So it is stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not helpful.  Treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy depending on type and grade of cancer. It is just palliative treatment.  It can not cure the disease. Despite treatment prognosis remains poor.  Body can tolerate chemotherapy according to general conditions and other factors.  No need to worry about that. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
