Hi there, so my Dad has stage 4 esophageal cancer that spread to his lungs, found out in September, he has had cancer before & had a big operation 8 years ago & radiotherapy so chemo is only option! He had 6 rounds & it worked better than they ever imagined as it blasted a 6cm tumour into just bits & his lungs into bits too but unfortunately it has grown back after only a few weeks! Gutted!
There is no talk of more chemo, they said they will scan again in July, this is nearly May so they must think he will be alive then? He sounded so down telling me after remaining so positive throughout despite a number of falls, a clot, stent issues...
Atleast we will get to see him indoors in a few weeks so that's something, it's been so hard not seeing him properly! He is 66, I'm 42, this is the hardest thing I've gone through!
Anyone had it grow back so quick after shrinking? He doesn't want to ask time scales, I'd rather know! I'm thinking a few months? The Doctor was shocked it even shrunk, they weren't even going to do it because they didnt think there was any point!
Thank you so much in advance.
