Hi all 

im new to the site as in writing a post but read some amazing stories just want to put mine done on paper to share some hope and good feelings.

I’ve just survived 4 rounds of FLOT,esophagectomy with major complications leak in connection where it’s joined and 4 more rounds of FLOT starting 7th aug, the histology on my Tumor said there was cancer cells at the margins under macro scopic procedures my surgeon said he taken it all away along with 37 lymph node’s 12 of which had cancer cell under microscopic procedures, so as you can imagine I’m really in bits right now but if there’s one thing I can say is keep your PMA (positive mental attitude) with you always, I had the ward in stitches with this saying when I was in there and I was in for just under 3 months because of the complications I had, I also made some new very good new friends and keep in touch via text message who were also going through some real tough times, my wife, daughter and grandchildren ( boy age 2, girl age 10) gave me hope and encouragement to fight this nasty disease and I’m still here keeping my PMA  and hope one day a Costa coffee with my new friends all of which will be remembering our time on the ward because of positive mental attitude,wishing everyone on here you guessed it
