Hi my dad got diagnosed a few weeks ago and had keyhole surgery for oesophageal cancer. They said he needs a stent and they can’t operate and he has a tumour in his stomach. I need to know what stage he’s at and will he live for a long time

Hi Pippa
Hope you are ok x I am going through the same with my Dad. He had 2 stents fitted which helped him swallow food a little better. He also has it in his stomach and was diagnosed back in May x I look after Dad at the moment, I don’t know about you but I feel I’m in some kind of bubble and also don’t have any family around. I just wanted to message you to let you know I’m thinking of you xx
Thank you so much I’m so sorry to hear about your dad too! I can’t imagine what it’s like not having any family around. I feel the same I feel like it’s still not real and dad’s just going to get better.
We have now found out he’s stage 4 I am devastated he’s my world.
Im thinking of you too xx
Hi Pippa
At A&E at the moment, Dad is really poorly they are making him comfortable x
Thinking of you and you Dad x
