Hello Big Jill
Welcome to this forum, and thank you for taking the first steps at reaching out to us, No matter what time of year, it is difficult to know how to cope or deal any cancer diagnosis, I am sorry to read that your husband has been diagnosed with gullet cancer, and although I can truly understand how frightening this can be, I hope that everything went ok for him having the pic line fitted.
Is he still coughing up blood, when will his treatment start?

My husband was diagnosed in May 2020, a vivid and repetitive memory, where my world fell away under my feet and my head spun for days, thankfully his treatment continues to be successful and hopefully this will be the same for your husband too.
Thinking of you, and if you would like to chat just drop me a line,
