Out of my depth

[BJS]

I'm new to this & I'm just starting to reach out for help. I will be phoning the Cancer help line on Monday to see what they can tell me. My husband has cancer of the oesophagus & after nearly six months of Chemo we've just received his results which were not good. I feel his Oncologist has abandoned us saying there are no secondary treatments for oesophagus cancer. The oncologist said he will moniter my husband over the next few months & also make inquiries to see if he can get him into a clinical trial. Is there anyone out there who knows about cancer of the oesophagus? From what I understand it doesn't have much chance of being cured.

Don't hesiatate to use Complementary Energy Therapy and meditation to work beside the treatments that you are already using. Complementary Energy Therapies are the least understood therapies that are available, even by those who advertise their use in practice. The prime roll of Energy Therapies is to work in the Emotional and when the dis-ease of the emotional calms then the physical body will respond to self healing. len

Hey - I am slowly coming to the realisation that there is no "Guide Book" to all this - its a primordial soup, so much depends on the individual. Its a bit like the Medieval theologians arguing how many Angles could dance on the head of a pin. Feral cells with their own free will, battling it out with whatever can be thrown at them... - whatever makes sense to you. Oncologists dont lie, they just dont know. Period. In the meantime, both of you, LIVE. Cram as much living into life as you can, most people dont get this chance. Do the trips, go bush, learn to skydive - review your bucket list. Stop wasting time on crap that you cant resolve anyway. Just go for it. Dance naked in the rain if you want to - (said this to my wife a few nights ago - she said "no - and close the window, there's a draft"....bugger....have to work on that one... I wish you both well, be of good heart it will all eventually be resolved.
