Hi guys
my dad has just found out he has oesophageal cancer we are such a close family and it’s literally devastated us. He has had a biopsy 3 weeks ago today and a pet scan a week ago and will finally get to hear some results Wednesday I’m so worried about the whole out come of this !
any advice would be very welcome we are all trying so hard to be positive around him but this waiting game it’s just horrendous.
Thanks Alison
Hi Alison we are literally at the same stage found out 23/10 that my husband had this cancer then had ct scan which showed tumour had grown 2.5 cm in less than a week and was alst in lymph nodes, he had his pet scan on Friday afternoon we now wait for the mdt to meet on Friday so hopefully we find out soon what we are facing. I’m thinking if you and hope your family has news that it has been caught early and is treatable take care Angie x
Hi Angie
thank you so much it’s like we’re living in a another world right now you hear of it happening to so many others around you but can’t imagine you will face it yourself. We are all just staying very very positive for him and I know treatments are good these days we just want to get it going now and stop any further delays. I hope you get some answers very soon.
Positive thoughts sending your way and to all going through this xx
Alison
