Hi All,
My husband, 64 and healthy, got a crouton stuck last November and then in January a bit of pizza. We waited weeks before a GP would refer him to have the camera down his throat. The same day he had a CT Scan and the following week a PET Scan. Told today its inoperable as its so high up in his throat and its borderline between head and neck cancer and esophagus cancer. Being offered types of chemo and Radiotherapy and a 'Rig' fitted to be fed through. They said its stage 3 and he has to have 5 weeks of this treatment and then more treatment covering months. He is very worried that after all this awful treatment that he still wont last long. Does anyone know any happy, long levity outcome for this treatment? Can you go on to lie the 5 years or is it rare. Noone seems to be telling us any real facts. No one seems to mention if they came out the other end of this radio/chemo and went on to feel better and live a few more years. All I can see are the horror stories. Please tell me that there is possible good news out there?
