Father was diagnosed with Distal Esophageal cancer (Adenocarcinoma, Stage 4) in Nov 2018, unfortunately the Cancer has been deemed inoperable due to lymph nodal metastasis (Aortic & Retro-peritoneal). Official cancer staging - T4/N2/M1, Grade 3.
I was just offering to share my story/ experiences so far with others that may have had loved ones diagnosed with a similar diagnosis & maybe offer some hope/ positive thoughts through difficult times. I haven't seen many recent updates online so thought it may be beneficial to others. Regards, Ward19.
