Hi all
Dad has had 4 endoscopies, 3 sets of multiple biopsies taken.
All have come back either inconclusive or showing no cancer cells.
The doctors are baffled!
The CT and imaging during endoscopy show concerning malignacy looking tumour. Which has grown 1cm in 6 weeks.
We cannot get a confirmed diagnosis though because of the biopsies.
Did anyone experience anything similar?
Any ideas of what else it could be??
We were told 7 weeks ago that Dad had Stage 4, locally advanced, inoperable esophageal cancer. Likely with only months left.
We are going into Week 8 Monday - and still do not have a confirmation nor treatment plan!
Please, any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
