This is my second post, I need to apologize for not responding to my previous post as i have been trying to get my head around this. I have been diagnosed stage 4 Esophagus cancer no operation as it has spread to my lymph nodes, Was told if i do not have chemo i would be lucky to be here by Christmas. So i have a meeting with Oncology tomorrow to discuss what we can do. My wife, step daughter and son are struggling with the diagnosis and i am trying to keep it all together for them. I am not ready to leave yet so will do everything i can to fight this. But i know realistically maybe 12/18months with chemo??
I was in the same position with the dude. Its hard to get your head round it all and put on a brave face for those close to you. You will find an inner strength to cope with things.
I hope your meeting with oncology goes well.
Sending love to you all - your wife will be with you every step of the way xx
