Hi I'm new to this and have been reading quite a number of stories. 

My story starts in July couldn't keep solids down then was fluids. Had a few endoscopys and turns out I have oesophagal cancer. I'm currently on a ng feed which I'm managing ok and drinking fluids also. Lost quite a lot of weight which I'm slowly putting on, I'm quite a slim person so certainly don't like seeing myself so thin, look anorexic but seemingly its all to do with muscle loss.

Start chemo hopefully next week which I've to stay in hospital for which I got my oncologist to explain why today. Will be having Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy in the new year. Terrified is an understatement, luckily I have a very supportive and loving family. My youngest daughter still stays at home with me and she has decided to take a year out of uni to help care for me, can't help but feel very guilty about this. She is in second yr for nursing, we laugh and say this experience will help her be a fantastic nurse.
