Hello,
New here unfortunately, Husband started off with difficulty swallowing, gp appt made and put on 2 ww, 2 weeks later gastroscopy revealed a hiatus hernia and inflammation, 3 biopsies taken from a growth in lower O but Dr reassured us it was likely benign and reflux related.. fast forward about 4 weeks he got a call for a CT scan and a 15 min appt at our local hospital outpatients.
We were completely blindsided when the Dr informed us it was in fact cancer and had likely spread to the liver and bones, so she ordered a liver mri scan, another phone call a few days later she said it hadn't actually spread into liver and that there was a lesion on his bone but they were unclear, so Pet scan a week ago and appointment today with consultant at the endoscopy unit at a larger hospital.
It has in fact spread to his rib, there's a thickening there. Again absolutely blindsided, we were hoping for a shred of positivity but again none.
Treatment offered is chemotherapy and we are awaiting an appointment with oncologist.
He is 46 years old, fit healthy, doesn't smoke or drink. We are never going to wake up from this nightmare are we? This is it now. No staging information either. No idea what stage the adenocarcinoma is at or the rib.
Well done if you made it to the end. My world has ended - we have 2 boys 12 & 16, 16 yr old in middle of gcses so holding off saying anything but they are surely going to pick up on something being off.
Thank you again for reading my ramble, I literally don't know what to do with myself.

Thank you so much and hug reciprocated

Its just an absolute mine field isn't it.
That's what I'm looking for, the hope that it could retreat enough for op or anything! Anything to keep him here longer. The tears won't ever stop it don't think.
Thank you again for replying xx
