STICKEY PLEASE...esophagus

Ouch!! I hope everthing turns out alright......

Everyone here knows I lost my mother to Breast Cancer of couple of years back and now my mother-in-law is battling Pancreatic Cancer. She just had surgery to remove some of the tumor today. The surgery was successful, but now comes the most stressful part. If her pancreas doesn't heal properly within the next few days, she'll only have days to live. It's put a real toll on my wife. My wife cried her eyes out when Detroit hit that homerun because her mother and her are life time Tiger fans. Her mother smiled and told me that she hope she can at least make it through the World Series.

I really hate seeing you or anyone else go through anything like this.

Hang in there, Tommy.

Tommykat,

My family and I will say many prayers for you mother. Please cherish every moment you have with your mom. I recently lost my father to lung cancer. He bravely took on the chemotherapy but due to many other physical problems couldn't withstand the treatment. I hope they can treat your mom successfully and you have many days and months and years to spend with her. Just make sure every day is full of love and caring. Hang in there. This is a tough situation that you all are going to experience. God bless you all. Be strong.

Mike

TK. Sorry to hear about your mother. Remember knowledge is power. The following are some bolded terms (I do not know how to paste them as links) that you can search on the subject of lung carninoma to find some possible answers. I especially prefer Oncolink. I have just sent up a prayer for your mother. Take care.
