Update. My husband has had 22 chemo treatments. The onocology nurse calls him her poster patient because he is still responding well. He is participating in a Mayo study which is promising. Esophogeal/stomach tumor has shrunk down to a "nodule" in esophogeal/stomach junction and spot on liver has shrunk down to a little less than 3 mm from original size of around 180 mm. He does not like the oxaliplatin due to cold sensitivity and neuropathy side effects. Taimse.
