in Esophageal Cancer #1
Don is recovering very well from Hernia surgery. Now we have another thing to face.
Before he had his EC surgery they had found a small spot on his kidney. When they did another CT scan a couple weeks ago they said that there had been no change in the last 3 months which we thought was good news. However, they now see another spot near his Pancreas. They want to do an scope to see if it is cancer. At first he said he was not going to do anymore, but now says he will have the test. Please pray that they will not see anything on the Pancreas. If they do, we know that his time here on this earth may be short. He is prepared to meet Jesus, but it is still very hard to think about.

    Prayers
    Dear Reba and Don,

    I am so sorry that they are seeing possible problems in the organs. I will pray that the Lord will give you both peace and grace as you face this test and then the results.

    I am happy to hear that Don is doing well after the hernia surgery. Did he have the open (Ivor-Lewis) esophagectomy? I don't remember him having the MIE. I can understand why he feels like no more tests or surgeries. He has been through so much!

    My prayers are with you both,

    Linda

    Prayers for you all
    Wishing you the best. EC is such a battle. Lengthy and painful. It is easy to want to not endure any more. Get all your information and recommendations and let the many experienced EC patients on this board provide you with their thoughts on what to consider. We have found them so helpful. In the end, it is our decision to make as to what are the next steps, but the more information you have, the more informed your decisions, and the more comfortable you will feel as to your choices. Good luck. Mary

    Reba, Praying that the test will not show cancer. Your husband has been through a lot and I understand not wanting to go through anymore. I'm glad he has changed his mind.
    Praying, Sandra

    I will be praying that the "spot" is not cancer
    Reba,

    I am sure Don is beginning to become frustrated about the news he has been receiving from his doctors lately. I am hoping perhaps the "spot' they have found may be something other than a recurrence.

    I will be praying that Don's test goes well and it is something benign that they are seeing.


    Best Regards,
