Hello

They probably meant 4.2cm! Wishing your dad all the best. 

Thank you so much xx

It could mean that’s where it is, I think my husbands said 37cm meaning the point on the oesophagus. 

Thank you . Yeah that's what someone else was saying xx

I just want to add what others are saying. They measure from your back teeth as 0 and your stomach as 40cm. Most oesophageal cancers are at the junction of the stomach and so are at 30-40cm. They sometimes talk about skip lesions where it jumps upwards using the lymph nodes, so they may talk about other measurements. If you don’t understand reports and results call your clinical nurse specialist. You should get given a number for them. They are your first port of call and won’t think you’re bothering them. There are no stupid questions. They can take you through everything. Take care xx

Thank you so much for your kind words. This as all been such a shock and he's become so poorly so quickly . With staging at T4 N3 M1 I know it may be mths rather then years but I pray everyday for a miracle. Take care xx
