We have just found out that our mum has got cancer of the gullet. They are unable to give mum the course of radio therapy and chemo that they intended to because mums kidneys are not good enough to deal with it. She has been on blood pressure tablets that have effected her kidneys. They can only offer 10 days of mild radiotherapy. They have also taken mum off the blood pressure tablets to see if her kidneys improve at all. She has got what they call a junction cancer it is at the bottom of her gullet and just at the top of her stomach. It has not spread to anywhere else. They say the operation is out of the question , mum is 79 and in good condition but they say she is not suitable for such a long and hard to recover from operation. Is any one else in a similar situation, we have nmever had to deal with anything like this before.
