hi i read your story and my mum was diagnosed the same time as ur dad (sept 2007) except that it has spread to her liver not her lymph nodes. she's been doing 6 sessions of chemo then a break then now more chemo even if the tumour in esphagus has shrunk, but because the liver cyst doubled in size. anyway, like ur dad she's very different from what she was. so skinny, pale, and no appetite she gets angry when we try to feed her even. hope you keep updating on ur dad's situation. i'll try and do he same. right now i'm feeling a little unhappy and depressed about the whole thing.
