Reoccurance

My husband was diagnosed with eso. ca in June and had surgery, and chemo but  just failed his first pet scan.  We were optomistic when they said the biopsy only found it in one lymph node post op.  We hoped chemo had extinguished any other cells, but today, we were told it was in more lymph nodes and in his bone.  If any one has been through this, I would be greatful for any support....

Hi Zoom 651 - I am sorry to hear your husband has mets.  I lost my Dad to his first round of chemo for Stage IV EC in June, but, I stay on the boards (more reading then posting now) because of the wonderful people here.  I don't have any specific medical advice, but, just wanted you to know that many people on the boards will be able to give you advice.  Also, there is another site called Cathy's EC Cafe and there are a lot of Stage III and Stage IV long term survivors that post on there.  They too are VERY knowledgeable regarding treatments, etc and are ALWAYS willing to share their experiences.  From me - I pray your husband does well and I will be thinking of you both.  Please keep us posted.  God speed - karen

Thanks for responding..I am glad you told me about Cathy's cafe, I had seen it before my husbands surgery, but forgot about it.  I will absorb any information I can...thank you again and I am sorry for your past situation. zoom651
