Hi - yes thanks for the contact opportunity with you. I am very scared. He is admitted right now - he was dehydrated and fever but they find no source for infection and it might have been a virus. His blood sugar is veyr high and they want to start treating that. He is very weak post Radiation treatment.

9 months agoRachel- is he here in Sac inpatient? My husband had altogether 9 hospitalizations ranging from 3 days to almost 2 weeks. The best advice is to be there when the doctors come through every day and hear what they are saying, advocate for good treatment and care. If something isn't right, speak up and ask for it to be fixed!!

wlemons- My husband was diagnosed similarly. Stage 4 adenocarcinoma at the GE junction. He was not able to get the surgery as the cancer was already multiple metastatic. He did many many rounds of chemo and radiation, but lost his battle earlier this year after 15 mos.
If you have any questions or things you are not sure of, please let me know. I'm happy to share anything I can. I was his primary caregiver and advocate throughout almost 2 years of cancer treatment.

Rachel- Welcome! I was also the primary caregiver for my husband throughout his battle with esophageal cancer. He was stage 4b at diagnosis, and lived about 15 mos. through treatment. I am also pretty local to you. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Just ask!!! It helps a lot to have people who have BTDT around.
Ellen
