Hi all,
I’m looking for a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. My husband who is only 45 has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer earlier on this week. Today we saw a consultant who highlighted a couple of marks on his liver, the biggest one being 2.4cm meaning that the cancer is incurable as it has spread. He’s got his first oncology appointment this Thursday (the nurse who’s been assigned to him has been amazing at making everything happen as fast as possible bless her) but what should I expect? I’m at a complete loss, absolutely heartbroken, we have two young children aged 5 and 3 who need their daddy so much and I need my husband.
Does he stand a chance at beating this horrible disease? Has anyone had chemo and then had surgery to remove the liver spread? I want to do everything in my power to keep him here, with us. Never have I thought we’d ever have to go through anything like this.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
