    Dear Steve: Thanks for your words. In fact, so far, he only gets the pain after an 'episode' bringing up the frothy stuff and, thank goodness, the pain doesn't last for too long. I know that as things get worse, he will need serious pain relief - but right now, time the med kicked in, the...

My dad was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer on 23rd April after a gastric endoscopy, which showed a tumour is obstructing his oesophagus . The biopsy confirmed it was cancerous. He has since had a stretch...

However, he was referred back to the oncologist who, in January, said he still hoped for a cure and started...

But we've been told that the angiogram showed that, if he didn't have cancer, he would have had bi-pass and stents but they will not consider in the circumstances. Instead they are going to give meds (beta...

    Thank you so much for your kind words. They certainly came from the heart. It's all be such a shock, especially cos for the last 2 weeks, Philip has been feeling terrific: he can eat anything, no fatigue, feels better than he has done for a couple of years. No symptoms whatsovever. And he doesn't...
