Hi R-a

I’m very sorry to hear the news about your father, it’s quite a shock when a loved one is in potential health trouble. My father was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer stage 3 and underwent radiotherapy and 3 operations which turned out to be a success and he’s still with us today ( that was 10 years ago) so don’t worry yourself unnecessarily as treatments are getting much better these days and it’s not the death sentence it once was. So only cross that bridge if or when you come to it because now at least he’s in the system and being monitored and tested and hopefully cured ASAP. Sending big hugs and thoughts try not to worry. X
