My dad was diagnosed with EC 12/14/07. He has had every possible test. My dad is 83. Last Friday 1/25 dad had the EUS. Today we met with the surgeon. The Dr. told us that the EC is a Stage III A or B. He gave us options. 1. Surgery followed by Chemotherapy/Radiation. 2. Chemothery and Radiation. 3. Do nothing.
I asked the Dr. all the questions I could think of. I told the Dr. that dad must be a good candidate for the surgery or he would never have presented that option. He said that my dad's best chance for survival is the surgery.
I know there is no good option with this disease. I will take any all all advice that anyone cares to share. I really appreciate the help that all of you have sent. Your sharing and kindness has really helped me to stay strong for my father. God Bless All of you.
