Followup on purrs for my dad
He had an endoscopy and they found esophageal cancer. I'm very scared,
though both of my parents are acting like it's no big deal. I think for my dad he at least finally has a diagnosis, but while I braced for this one, it's hard to hear cancer is what it is. I'm going to go with what they told me his prognosis is rather than what I found on the net. Thanks for the purrs and we're purring for him and those in need. Patches is a very proficient purrer. -- Cheryl |

And let me tell you about a guy I worked with 10 years ago. He'd just had bypass surgery, then was diagnosed with esophogal cancer. He was probably 68 or so at the time; he beat both of them and is still around. That's all I know about that particular illness; but I hope it's encouraging to you. Sherry |

Purrs will definitely continue. If they're saying the prognosis is good,
I'd definitely listen. A positive attitude helps immensely. -- Joy Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat.

He had an endoscopy and they found esophageal cancer. I'm very scared,
though both of my parents are acting like it's no big deal. [...] It's odd that today I was talking to a lady at work, and she was telling me that her husband has this. He is having treatment and his prognosis is very good. Be realistic. While the stage at diagnosis and the treatment given make some difference, the overall 5-year survival rate is about 7%. It's one of the most lethal of all cancers. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |

Followup on purrs for my dad
Thank you everyone for your well wishes, positive energy and purrs. I know
this is serious and I can't reply to all of you because I will just cry and cry. I think the reality set in with my parents because while mom sounded ok the other night, she was crying tonight and already planning jobs around the house to get it ready to sell. |
