Oesophageal Cancer

Hi, my husband was diagnosed end of January with Stage 3. He's had gastroscopy, CT scan, pet scan and heart scan. Waiting for lung test and laparoscopy. Pet scan picked up something in the bowel which he had a colonoscopy for and that turned out to be cancer too. Pet scan also picked up the liver. Had to have MRI for that. Results from that are on monday.24 February. Absolutely dreading it. If it's cancer then it will be a case of management not cure.

  • Hello  Denix,  

    My goodness!   What a very difficult time you are having. with all this bad news .... and poor hubby with going through all those tests.  The waiting for results is especially hard isn't it ?

    You can be assured that the doctors are doing all they can to get a complete picture of the situation  , and tomorrow you'll find out what they think is best for your husband.   Will you be going to the appointment with him ? Be brave....and take notes or record on your phone ..

    I will be keeping you in my prayers

    Zillah......currently  managing hubby's care .

  • Thank you. It is a struggle and the waiting is torture. It is a telephone call tomorrow. Don't know what time though. We are hoping for an early call then we are not sat wondering. Yes I am off work for tomorrow. At least tomorrow we can hopefully start to make plans. So far everyone has been brilliant and very honest and informative. 

    I hope your husband is managing ok. It must be hard for you. 

    Best wishes
