Newly diagnosed

Hi Mikepho,

Ask anybody on here & they will tell you the waiting game is awful.  

But anyone on here will also be wishing you the absolute best for a good result.

Methods used to treat Oesophageal cancer have evolved so much in the last 15 years. 

So have a positive mindset. Keep busy. I know it's easy for me to say, but try to not to think the worst.

I see your wife is a Macmillan nurse too. That is great, you couldn't have better support.

We all wish you our very best, so try not to worry until you have something to worry about.

I will be crossing everything for a successful outcome for you. Just like all the others on this forum.

Be strong my friend,

Best regards,

Graeme.

Hi Mikepho1

Welcome to our special space, we are here for each other, to chat, support and sometimes rant, I am so pleased that you have taken the first step and shared with us the experience you have had over the past few weeks.

Waiting as Graeme says is horrific, the time in between spent wondering.... but with T3N2  we hope as you say that is hasn't spread and will be keeping everything crossed with you.

I asked my husband to be open and honest with me when he was first diagnosed in May last year, in your case, your wife may have her career but this is You... so I am thinking of you both at this time.

Please keep us updated on your PET results!

Positive thoughts coming your way

Well got another curve ball thrown at me today. Got a call from the CNS looking after me to be told that the results of PET scan came back clear but they spotted something going on in my prostate so I have to now have some more blood tests. On a plus note at the MDT the surgeon has agreed to see me and that should be happening next week. Feeling frustrated but as my wife said it's better they find these things out sooner rather than later.
