Very new to this so don't know if I'm doing it right. I am very scared. Hubby has endoscopy  tomorrow after having difficulty swallowing food for a while. Can't see past getting a very bad outcome there doesn't seem to be any alternative. Our 40 year old nephew is on last days of life with bowel cancer so our family is going through the mill at the moment and I dread putting more worry on them with this. I am so worried.
