tumor

I just found out that my uncle has a tumor in his esophagus and it spread to his liver. Today he went in for chemotherapy. I can't believe it. He's about to become a grandfather and all. He's just a wonderful guy. He's so awesome. He doesn't deserve this. My poor aunt and cousins. oh man.

Sorry to hear it.. The big C has had wreaked havoc on my life a bit too. Some got to it quick and heard no more, some have made miracle recoveries, some not so lucky. The advice I can give is ALWAYS hope for the best. There are medical intricicies here and it could be easily operable or not. Talk to your family and find out the if he's getting chemo or surgery and how bad it is. I find the more I know, the better I feel and the more I can support my loved one. The less I know the more I worry and the more I distance myself.

There's nothing really else to say..

There's nothing anyone can say to make this situation any better. I'm all too familiar with cancer and family members. All i can say is the best of luck to you and your family. Like apexaviour said, try keep positive

That's a pretty heavy dose to swallow. Commiserations all round, but chin up. Things may not be as bleak as they seem, knee-jerk reaction to cancer is always that the bottom has fallen out of the world, but it may not have. My aunt had a huge ovarian tumor, wrapped itself around her pelvis, but with surgery, and lot of chem, five years on she's in perfect health. So it's tough, but square those shoulders and you'll all pull through.
