What Is The Prognosis Of Esophageal Cancer With Adrenal Gland Metastasis?

I was diagnosed with esophogeal cancer in January of this year. I underwent 28 days of radiation and 15 Chemo treatments. In april I had surgery to remove the esophagus and by may I felt fine. The cancer had spread to some nearby lymph nodes which were removed. I had a scan in June and the cance was found in my adrenal gland and soft tissue in my thigh. My oncologist has informed me that this is incurrable but in order to extend my life has starteds me on another series of Chemo. What life expectancy am I looking at? I am a 53 year old female in good health aside from this cancer

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have esophageal cancer with metastasis in to adrenal gland and thigh. So it is stage 4 tumour. Surgery is not possible in this case. Prognosis is very poor despite treatment. Life expectancy is very short. To increase life expectancy chemotherapy and radiotherapy is helpful but despite of this treatment life expectancy is not very good.
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 health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
