Hello,

I'm sorry that your dad had been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. I was told yesterday that my uncle has been diagnosed with the same and it has also spread to his liver. He's only in his mid 50's and been given 12-18months maybe 2years to live. We are all devastated. Unfortunately due to covid we can't see him as he lives across country. I've been trying to look for positive cases to keep me optimistic. 

I'm glad your dad was eating and drinking fine and I hope since you wrote that post he has gone from strength to strength. 
 

We've been told he's having chemo but it's still a new diagnosis. It's all I can think about. Day and night. If you can shed any light on your dad's situation, I would appreciate it. But can also respect that it's hard to talk about. 
 

Hope you are both doing well

So sorry to read everyones posts.

My father in law has just been diagnosed with this at 71yrs.

They've said it has spread to his lymph glands so is in operable :sad:

He has an appointment next week to discuss treatment options.......

Please keep me updated on your stories!

Hi 

so sorry to hear your news! 
How is your father at the moment, they said that my dad had it on his liver, lung and lymph nodes too.

Is your dad having chemo at all? X

He has been told that his first cycle of chemo starts in 2-3weeks time. Hosital one day, tablets the others.

Hi Emma, 

Glad to hear that chemo is commencing. That's the same as what my dad had, fingers crossed for positive results with it :). X 

Hi Emma, this is the same treatment as my husband is starting monday, he is stage four oesophageal, spread to lung, chest lymph nodes etc. Am here if you need to chat or if worried. Its good to hear others saying their family members are responding well to treatment! We must hope for the best x
