Hi, saddened for anybody in this group. My dad was told on NYE last year he had approximately 3m to live due to inoperable tumour which had spread to lungs and lymph nodes. He was read a list of 
de effects for chemo but after much deliberation decided to have chemo... he had zero side effects and battled like the true trooper he is. But, after a brave battle he had a stent fit on Thursday d has been ill with sickness and fatigue. It is heart breaking to see and I pray that he will recover quickly and enjoy some more time with his family. We see consultant on Thursday 12th but dreang the forecast. Based on experience can anybody give me any positive hope
Hi and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community, a Community that no one really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your dad’s diagnosis and ongoing treatment.
A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
The Community is organised into support groups and I see you have joined our Gullet (oesophagus) cancerrain tumour group, this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as a patient or family.
Follow the above link then introduce yourself, post questions or just join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'.
You may also find our Carers only, Family and friends and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
Its always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support or just a listing ear.
