I'm 54 years old, Married to the most amazing man "S" who was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer in August 2017. We are lucky, we caught it early and all tests and scans are coming back positively - it hasn't spread, that we know of.
We don't have children but we do have a little four legged friend called Freya, who is an old lady now at 14 and is also battling cancer. She's doing very well - she's showing her Daddy how it's done I think. We've had a difficult year so far - we lost our beautiful 29 year old niece Lara to Ewings Sarcoma in March and S's Mum in June, and now this. BUT, we are taking each day as it comes, riding the highs and the lows together and thanking our lucky stars for every blessing and for every kind and caring person on this forum. We thank you x
September 2018 - huge blow. After everything my wonderful man has been through over the past 12 months, almost exactly a year on a routine scan has revealed fluid in the abdomen, The cancer has returned. There are also enlarged lymph node’s up and down Steve’s gullet. We are hopeful that a course of chemo will halt or at least slow the spread but all we can do now is buy Steve some time.
November 2018
My beloved husband, my hearts keeper, died on 25th November at 4.30am. The last thing he did was smile and then sigh. I am heartbroken but he was ready to go (he told me so), he told me not be to afraid because he wasn't and told me to live the life we had planned for our retirement. I am so blessed to have been loved and adored by Steve - he brought joy to my life and I will NEVER forget him or get over him. nor would I want to.
