Diagnosed 12th July, Ivor Lewis surgery 3rd October discharged on 15th October, first 2 weeks it was a joy to be able to eat again, last 3 weeks swallowing difficulties. Final prognosis on Friday 25rh November, if node positive only 20-25% 5 years survival rate. So me and my good friend " hope " are looking for a better outcome. I'll be glad the waiting will be over in 5 days, I am being as positive as I can, I feel so sorry for my wife she has been through the mill and has been incredibly brave and supportive, but believe we will get through this.
