Bad news: he is not a candidate for surgery as the PET scan showed 8 spots from his esophagus to his stomach. This surgery is extremely dangerous and he would be under the knives for many hours. I praise God for giving us the guidance for Doctors to say this is not good for dad. With his a-fib in his heart, God is telling us just be patient and know I (God) is healing the body. Why it is bad is because everyone likes to have more than just chemo/radiation options. The what ifs in life. The tumors range from a nickle to a tennis ball in size.
However, I look at the good news… the cancer has NOT spread passed a couple organs. It has not gone to the bone, liver, lungs, pancreas or brain – all places where there is little hope. Praise God for showing us the signs to take dad in to Dr. now and not months from now. The Doctors have told us that most of the time we never catch this early…. cause usually u feel great until after it has spread all throughout the body. It is still very serious but it has only spread to a couple places. I believe in my soul that the chemo/radiation is going to kick some cancer butt and we are going to stand proud to beat this horrible cancer. God said, have faith as little as a mustard seed and I shalt be with you. I believe that. I have seen how chemo has healed me and so many others. Yes, it is a poison but it is one that will make cancer run away.
He will be seeing the nutritionist and the radiation Dr within the new few days. he will also have another endoscope and a biopsy from MD Anderson. They want to biopsy all of the lymph nodes. Then chemo/radiation within the next week or so.
