My uncle has been diagnosed with a 7cm stomach tumour which has mets to the liver and lungs - it also looks like it may be in his oesophagus - no one is giving us a real idea on expected life expectancy - we just need an idea of what we are dealing with - he is already having trouble with swallowing and is having to cough up phleghm regularly.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has esophagus cancer with liver and lung metastasis. It is stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not useful in this stage. So treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. But it will not cure the disease. It just works as palliative therapy. Despite all treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact. Consult your oncologist and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
