The rollercoaster oesophagus cancer

I posted here earlier, but things have got more complicated.

Had a CT scan confirmed cancer, advieed it was localised and, just as a precaution, sent for PET scan, but nothing new expected.

Had call from nurse confirming just a slight problem with a small hot spot on skeleton, but this wont be a problem. Going for chemo, surgery and chemo.

Got wworried about this 'small hot spot' called to speak to nurse for clarification. She was not working, but another nurse went through it with me. Now a different MDT has reviewed scan and seen extensive groth into lymph nodes, and a query about hot spot on spine.

Nothing has spread to other organs, but surgery is no longer contemlated, just referral to oncologist 13th Jan.

I have been down, very down, just off rock bottom, aand very sLightly raised, but now ddon't  know what to think.

    I am a Humanist. Before I was born I did not exist and when I die, I will just go back to that state of non existence, that's it, the end. I have no doubts about this, it would be nice to believe in going to a better place, but, no it does not happen.

     

    If, however, I was wrong, WHICH I AM NOT, I'm still in trouble:

     

    If the imaginary friend in the sky is a Catholic, he will have my excommunication document;

     

    If he is a Protestant, he will have copies of the last e.mails I sent to the vicar;

     

    The Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Mormons will have told him how THEY cross the road to avoid ME;

     

    If he is Jewish, I haven't had the end of my dick chopped off, and I'm not having that done just in case;

     

    Although I don't drink very much. I do occasionally imbibe and I shave and have my hair cut, so no favours from Allah;

     

    If he is the Hindu God, well I eat beef, the animal they hold sacred, so no chance there;

     

    That only leaves the Buddhists, and they believe thst if you have lived a good live, you go up a social class, but if you've lived a bad life, you drop down the social scale;

     

    So thats it then the most I could hope for is coming back as a cockroach
