Well Ian finished his treatment on June 27th, has been back for follow up but has to wait till end of September for follow up scan and endoscopy.

I feel its back to the start the waiting!!!!!!!!!

Ian is swallowing a bit better, one day all food goes down, then the next none goes down. So one day we feel good and positive and the next not so positive.

He was very lucky and the treatment went well he had hardly any side effects, his hearing has been affected and suffered constipation during the first few days after his chemo. Then he had a few weeks of his gullet being really sore at the end of the radiotherapy, but that has now cleared.

So its just a case now and waiting for scan etc. to see where we go next!!!!!

My husband was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus on the 8th March. we are now waiting for his appointment with consultant on Tuesday, after he had more tests this week. I feel once we know whats gonna happen next I will be able to pull myself together and do what we gotta do. he has lost a stone in weight but only weighed 101/2 stone in the first place. Is hard to watch him struggling to swallow food, he knows he has to eat, but its hard.

I'll probably be writing a lot more once we get onto treatment, not sure if I will be able to cope, thats the scary part.
