sorry, new to all this blogging but just need to write it down i think. Dad had his oesphagus removed last aug and has done so well. did everything they told him to do , considering he has never trusted doctors before, this was very good for him, he has a couple of hernias at the same site and was going in for surgery but complained to his consultant that he was having some problems eating again so they sent him for camera down, they found more cancer at the join site and sent him for a ct scan, got results yesterday and he also has a shadow on his lungs and spine. going for pet scan today and will get the results on 1st nov, I feel so angry , this is so unfair, I would take this all away from him in a second, the whole family is totally in shock, we were not expecting this at all. they have said they wont know the extent untill they get the results of pet scan and they said there is no cure but they can try and shrink it, I am clutching at straws here to see has anybody had a similar experience and is surviving by having chemo to keep it at bay, I may be being selfish but he has his gloves on and is ready to kick this evilness into touch.
