Question: what are survival chances for esophageal patient that has had heart attack, stroke and cancer spread to lymph? two years ago my ex husband was diagnosed with cancer of esophagus. He had radiation and chemo. He was fine until lately, went to e.r. Cancer was hidden behind scar tissue, its too late to operate. Was sent home with Hospic, given 4 months to live. In hospital now, had a stroke and heart attack. Had to tie vein to stop bleeding from throat. Unable to speak, just grunts. 65 year old man.I'm scared, is it too late to do anything for him?
Answer: sorry to say this, but the outlook is not so good. i suggest making the most of the time you have together. once cancer hits the lymphatic system, well... that's pretty much incurable so i've been told. and the other problems he's had on top of that? ach.. sorry, lass!
all you can do now is just love him as much as you ever have.
