DH diagnosed with eschopiagial cancer just before Christmas 2025. We were initially told it was operable but concern has been raised that it is too big (9cm) and too close to his windpipe to make that an option. He lost loads of weight being unable to eat but now has a feeding tube into his stomach following a failed effort through his nose and is feeling a bit better. We've got an initial chemo appointment/start of treatment for the beginning of April.
The consult informed us that he has a 1 in 8 chance of surviving this which, for me, is not hopeful or helpful DH is sure that he is that ONE and refuses to think past that belief.
I think I'm just trying to understand what happens next. We're a couple with no children and no close relatives or friends nearby, and feeling very alone on this strange journey we've been forced to undertake.
