    • Hug

      From finishline March 16

      My heart goes out to you. My dear husband turned 50 Feb 07, Retired 3/07 and 5 days after all that happy news was diagnosed with Satge IV Esophageal Cancer and told he would not live long. He is so very happy full of life and to look at him you would think they are crazy to even say such a thing. Also same spots on other organs, they started 24/7 strong Chemo for a few weeks, then 6 weeks daily radiation but then Acities fluid set in and that was it. From diagnoses to death 6 months exactly. It is a beast of a cancer and very hard to diagnose early enough to help most. But there have been some miracles so I am going to pray your father is one of those special miracles. Think positive and stay strong he will need you.
