A good friend, Dennis, has just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. We have know each other for around 60 years.
He had a persistent and uncomfortable pain for some weeks before getting the bad news. Dennis had a CT scan a few days ago and is about to have an endoscopic ultrasound which more accurately determines how far the cancer has grown into the oesophagus. This test can also show if the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
With these results the oncologist/surgeon can decide on the treatment.
He is facing this threat with good humour and all his friends are hoping for a good outcome.
Bastard disease!
