Hi onos
I'm sorry to read that your husband's oesophageal cancer operation wasn't able to go ahead because of complications and I can understand why you'd both be so upset.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the oesophageal cancer group, which I can see you've joined, as you'll then connect directly with other people who may have had a similar problem.
If you'd like to do this, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
Sending you a virtual (((hug)))
well we got told 6 months to live but be given a chance to have 6 more chemo at a lower doze with auto immune tablets for 2 years but when he had the normal chemo yes he would be rough for a week but fine the next but with this he sleeps most of time cold all he cold all the time eats really well ( had stent put in after op) they found a tumour in his lower bowel so big op out of reach oesophageal cancer stage 4 tumour was removed from bowel and stent was put in so he could eat, my thing is our life non exists any more i cant get him to go out any where but garden,dont know what i could do any more i know it sounds bad but im going mad work/ home i thought we would have a better type of life whille we fight this ,
I'm sorry to read how tough things are for you both at the moment.
