stage four oesophageal cancer

I was first diagnosed in July 23, surgery deemed inappropriate, had radio and Folfox. PET scan on 2024 showed metastases to peritoneum, more Folfox with immuno autumn 24. Bad reaction to immuno thus now starting more Folfox on its own next week. Docs are, understandably perhaps, not wanting to comment re potential life expectancy or likely evolution of quality of life. But, it would be really helpful to have an idea! Anyone got any experience to share about dealing with stage four? Any hints about any supplemental treatments that might help? Thank you for any insights
