CT scan

Hi Laura, I’m so sorry you are going through this, the waiting is the worst part where you just don’t know how to feel and what to think and all the scary what ifs go through your head. My dad also has oesophageal cancer, he has had surgery but it has spread to his lungs. We are waiting for the results of a pet scan to find out the extent of the spread to see what they can do. The waiting for results is so hard! Do you have a date to discuss the results yet? We are still waiting for ours. 

Hello

I'm sorry too that you've had more bad news. 

No date yet so just in Limbo trying to stay positive and not let the negative thoughts take over... which is very testing. 

I really hope you get some positive news from the results.

Any news? We heard today that they can treat my dad with targeted radiotherapy to help get rid of the tumour on his lungs. (They said if it was more than one tumour it would be palliative care but thankfully just the one) so unbelievably relieved!! Xx

That's amazing news I really am so pleased for you and your family.

The CT scan confirmed its cancer of the eusophagus but we knew that.

Mum has to have a small op in order to take another biopsy. Then she will start 3 months of chemo.

She has to have a pet scan on tuesday that will tell us if it has spread or not. So another week of being in limbo.

I hope the positive news has given your family a well deserved boost!

Laura

Oh no how frustrating that she has to have more scans and more waiting for results for you all. I’m keeping everything crossed that nothing has spread, please do keep me posted. Will they operate to remove the tumour if it’s only in the oesophagus do you know?
