This is the start of a new journey for me and my much loved friends from the original Oesophegus thread on general discussions.
We have become a close group and this will be our new home to continue our journey as life has become very hard for many of us and we keep re-living our journeys with lots of newbies which puts us all back a bit.
So my lovely friends Mel, Sam, Helen, Bern, Jac, Nic, Dawn, Sue, Cath, Lesley, Jani and the many other special friends Mel and I have made over the last 16 months this is it we have a new home.
Love to all and extra strength to carry us through our next stage XXX

Hi Kelsey,
They don't usually put a stent in as soon as some changes are noticed, because treatment may alter the narrowing and allow the stent to migrate.
If chemo or radio are not going to take place, then the stent will go in really quickly. I'm hoping that you have more detailed news soon, and I know you are feeling a little lost and scared. Just remember where here for you.
Kelsey, I'm sorry that it's all up in the air. Like Mel said it's best for them to do it this way. I hope it does'nt take too long and you know we are always here to talk. XXX
Sending a big blanket of love and support to wrap around all of us as i know how much we are hurting for Jac, her family, for our losted loved ones, our families and of course ourselves.
Kelsey, hoping that your Dad is comfortable and that the stent is fitted and brings him some much needed relief.
I'm not around this weekend. Well I am physically not around but am very much here in spirit.
So hugs and cuddles galore for you all. When times are tough it takes that extra strength to hold your head high, to look at things in life that are a blessing. I know you all have it within you to stand united and not give into the misery this illness brings. Dig below the surface and you and your families all share precious times and moments. Hold onto these rays of sunshine.
My batfink wings are here for anyone that needs them. I am sending extra strength in case you need it. This morning I have chatted to my dad - crikey I sound mad!! - I simply said 'morning and thanked him for being him'. I am very lucky to have him in my life and I say in my life, as he is very much a part of my life. Cause even when things go a bit pants, I sit back take a deep breath and remind myself for what I am blessed with. Life is precious and is to be fought for, that is a lesson I will never forget my dad teaching me.
Jac - you and your family have not left my thoughts and prayers.
Kelsey - good luck with sorting out the info for your dad. Hang in there honey and keep smiling, keep telling your dad you love him.
Sam - hello hairy Mary!! How you doing today? You been very quiet honey. This part of the journey is tougher than you imagine it will be. Cause in our heads we think we should be getting 'better'. Go with the flow, grieve. I promise you, you will get through this. Your emotions can only go there, cause you are able to take it, even though you feel you can't. This is the time to grieve and also to dig your heels in and fight for life. For the life that you deserve, that your dad wanted. For you to be happy. Everyday if you can rememeber your dad smiling and feel the pride at his courage, you will feel it and you will get stronger. x
Em - hope all is well with you and doctors. I hope you get the answers you need sooner rather than later.
Barbie - you been stolen?? This not having a phone for me is rubbish...I am buying one today I promise. Have a good weekend special lady. I am with you in spirit.
Mel - hey lady, you are Superb and I just want to let you know. I am not telling fibs either!!
SAM Sam - hello quiet one. Hope you are good to. Long time no catch up. We will do that next week..I promise
Rochelle - may the weekend bring you some peace in your heart and some smiles to your lips.
Michelle - I hope the holiday brought you some 'you' time. Time to start healing, time to breathe.
Nic - extra big hugs for you lady, as you not been here for ages which is not good sign. Don't stay away too long.....
Dawn - lovely Dawn, just want to send you a hug of your very own. I also noticed recently no more double posts...whats going on??
Cath - hope your job is starting to slow down and you can be naughty and come back and visit more often, as you are missed
Lesley - the same goes for you.....
Wendy - hello yummy mummy. Great to see you back honey. I know you have your hands full, with your bundle of joy. Long may life hold wonderful new surprises and experiences for you and your family.
Den - I am out of date....I think a Congratulations is in order...... as promised I have kept that champagne on ice for you ready to pop!!
To Donna, Shell, Helen, Beckstar, Julie 1234, Mick, Jill and everyone who plays a very special part in this thread. I wish you every happiness this weekend. Ooodles of Love Bern xx
I know you're all here and it means the world. Thanks also for the info Em & Mel - I hadn't realised that. I am a bit concerned because if he can't eat he will waste away! However, I know help is iminent so fingers crossed. He also seems more lucid than he has at other times. It's when he can't follow conversations that I get most frightened. It's tough on my mom who said she's had enough now. He wasn't sick yesterday but did have terrible diaharroea and it's a lot for mom to cope with one thing after the other. Still I'm taking her out for her birthday next week so at least she will have a pleasant evening then. We'd normally go out as a family for food but maybe we'll re-think that one. I'm doing OK at the moment. I've learnt that I mangage to deal with this most of the time but then something will take me unawares and knock me over at some point and I'll have to dust myself off once again. We're experts at that here aren't we. Expert Duster-Off'ers that's who we are! I might have a 'Stop Knocking Me Over Protest' at some point!
Anyway, best dash, should be working but wanted to say big hugs to each and every one of you.
Just a quick ((((((((((((hug))))))))))))) for all as I am not going to be able to check in as much over the next few days. I have my infusion this afternoon and going out tomorrow and sunday as it's our wedding anniversary(13th).
I know you are all trying to keep afloat but never forget the rope i there and we can all use it as and when we need to, there are a few threads hanging off at the moment that need twining back in but i'm sure that won't be a problem for such a wonderful group of people.
I still have the goosebumps from reading your message. I'm relieved Jac's husband no longer has to endure his suffering but saddened that Jac's suffering will intensify. I'll post on her site now.
