Dealing with my fathers diagnosis of esophageal cancer? Wanting answers on prognosis, and other feelings.?

Liver Spots Treatment

Question by < My Lilly Girl: Dealing with my fathers diagnosis of esophageal cancer? Wanting answers on prognosis, and other feelings.?
Just a few weeks my father was confirmed of having esophageal cancer. (lower portion) It has spread to his surrounding lympth nodes and the belly button lymth node and his doctor said that was not treatable. He is a stage 4 tier unknown because they have not confirmed two spots on his liver..more tests next week.

I am emotionally not a stable person, I have GAD and PTSD. I feel sometimes I am still in denial of all this. I assume this is normal? However, I had a hard time picking out a fathers day card and cried when I read every one. I am close to my parents we talk daily and live 5 minutes away from one another, although Friday night I could only stay for about 30 minutes it was too hard and yesterday could not even go over there, instead I was selfish and hung out with two new friends and had a few drinks. ( Don’t really have friends, due to mental issues until recently) I should have been over there!

My dad has a hard time eating and is suppose to have surgery next week to out in a tube in his chest for his treatment.

The doctor referred to making my father comfortable and it is not treatable, although they are going to use a “strong treatment” on him.

Anyone gone though anything similiar, I would appreciate your honest feedback. (Coping, Supporting, Time Frame) anything, because the not knowing is hurting me, let alone not knowing how much time I have left with him.
Bubbles: I am sorry to hear about your father and wish you two the best of luck as well. It is hard and I feel your pain so much! I read that my father has 6 months two… not sure if that began when they diagnosed it or when the cancer began?
Midnight: Very nice answer. I am on the list to speak to his doctor and have been to each appointment and have taken notes. I just did not want to ask those questions in front of my father. I definitly will take your advice and call. Thank you!

OMG I am so sorry, I am going through the same thing with my dad, he is dying of lung cancer, just found out a few months ago. I have depression and I don’t know if I can face him dying, I love him so much, I know what you are gone through. This is what I am doing, I am taking one day at a time and I am spending every minute I can with him. The doctors gave him 6 months. It makes me sick to think about it, I am having a hard time facing this too. I wish you and your dad the best of luck.
