Hi Pat,

That is devastating news to hear, incurable is a hard thing to get your head around. I hope you are both coping with the wait.

All I can say is try not to give up hope and remember that palliative care is NOT the same as end of life care, though many people conflate the two. 

Good luck and best wishes.

Hi Dave

Thanks for replying, trying very hard to be strong, emotions all over the place, my husband, also Dave is sleeping a lot, had a letter today from hospital, a report about his condition, which upset us both, very hard for him to swallow, Just over a week ago we knew nothing, and in that short space of time Dave has deteriorated dramatically, I think the shock has knocked him sideways,

Hello, I know the above threads were a couple of years ago and more. Im keen to know more, my husband is 60 and was feeling sick for about four weeks, with no joy at the dr i took him a&e where we got the awful news, he has incurable oesophagus cancer with liver mets, its 9cm in his liver and 2cm in the oesophagus. We are now waiting his oncology appointment in two weeks time. He was working until the day of diagnosis and now is so poorly. It’s so cruel.
