Cancer update


Guest

419 views

We've had a busy week since learning of my husband's cancer of esophagus. Just found out the tumor is operable...doc gave it a T2N1 rating...meaning tumor is through the esophagus wall but not into other organs. One lymph node is either a part of the tumor or is right beside it, otherwise no other lymph nodes are affected.

So, now we need to schedule surgery.

 

FYI my husband had colon cancer in 1996 and came through after surgery and chemo-therapy. The cancer docs in local town are/were idiots....Joe nearly died from the chemo. There were 2 cancer docs back then, now there are 6-7 locally to choose from. Thank God!

 

I'll try too keep y'all updated. Finally got a good night's sleep. Previous 2 days had only 10 hours sleep for 48 hours. Joe is the energizer bunny..he keeps going and going.

Hey, that's good news, I'll still be praying. Hope you get the best of the best doctors, since you now have more to choose from. That's always the scary part, the Picking doctors with the most experience for the job.

Hang on in there, its getting better, the more you know what's what.

Good luck to both of you with your husband's prognosis.

If you prefer a certain specialist make sure you get the referral to the one you want.

Take care
