Hi,
ive read so many posts on here so I thought I'd post myself, my dad is currently going through the tests for oesophageal cancer, for the past 10 weeks he's had symptoms that suddenly got worst he had a camera down his throat last week and gave him only a very slim change of it not being cancer he had biopsy's and is later today going for a CT scan and has another test next week, I'm still struggling to get my head around it all, he's 55 and just built a bungalow like how can one minute he be fine then the next not, it's absolutely heart breaking seeing him try to eat, a lot of my family memebers have had cancer but this is one I know very little about, I really don't know what to expect im at the stage where I'm trying to be positive and pray by some miracle it's not cancer but at the same time I want to prepare if it is, he is the strongest man I know he really is, I've read a lot that when you get those types of symptoms then it's usually at a late stage, I'm really just looking for other people's experiences with this type of cancer, i have a disabled son, a young daughter I'm trying to help my mum and dad through this awful time and I literally can't sleep it's constantly on my mind I hate the unknown. I'm very much my fathers daughter I'm extremely strong and I made a promise to myself that I would be as strong as I can and then when I'm alone is my time to break down, but I don't really have any friends or anyone I can lean on my parents have always been the ones I've gone to with all my problems and worries we are such a close family so I thought maybe just getting saying it on here would maybe help me and if I can try and understand it better.
