yesterday May 28 my dad had another endoscopy to find out if the tumar was defininitly cancer and today May 29 the diagnose is that it is definintly cancer. I am so mad, angry, sad, confused. We know have to wait till he gets out of the hospital to see the oncoligist and find out what treatment options he has. He can not have the surgery to remove his esphagus nor can he have a more surgerys. He is not strong enough nor healthy enough.

Hi Donna: My prayers are with you and your Dad. Hospitals are hard to be in and hard for family to try to be there and still be at home with their children, etc. BUT, when we need them, it's good to know they are there. It's the best place to be when you need medical care.
There didn't seem to be a mad rush, to them, for me either to see the oncologist when I was diagnosed. It made me think it must not make a critical difference between the wait (a few days/week(s) or a month) and the start of treatment.
But, let's face it we are all usually very anxious for test results, Dr. appointments, treatment and yet there's nearly always a wait... Since, I didn't know much about medicine, I just went with what they told me and prayed that I accept God's journey for me. Ask questions (I'd usually jot mine down) and assess your confidence in his Drs.
God bless. Brenda
