What Is The Lifespan When Having Esophageal Cancer?

I ve been told by my oncologist last Thursday that there is no more that chemotherapy can do for my esophogeal cancer that has metastisised to my humourous, scapula and vertibrae. I would like some indication on what to expect from here and some sort of indication of how much time I have left before I am permanently hospitalised. My oncologists answer was do you have your affairs in order at home

Hi, dear I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern. You have esophageal cancer with multiple metastasis. It is in last stage. No surgery will help you. Treatment of choice remains chemotherapy. And despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. One should not expect much from here. Life expectancy is very low.
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.
