Hello my husband has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 Oesophagus cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes and liver he has a large 10cm met in the liver which is causing a lot of discomfort. We have 3 young children and we have been given 1 year with treatment and we start chemo in the next few days. Would be good to hear of anyone going through the same who has beaten this stage or not beaten it. Could he have less than a year? Such a shock for us,

    Hi Hannah,

    my Dad has just been diagnosed with the very same thing. He is also due to start chemo in jan. 

    my Dads had to have a stent fitted and he can finally eat again, it’s been a god send. How has your husband found eating? 

    My Dad didn’t want to know how long he has but is determined to fight it with his positive mental attitude. 

    Its such a massive shock isn’t it when you first hear the diagnosis. How is your husband in general?
