initial tests show he could have cancer of the oesophagus, he is going for more this week

i found out when i was away in thailand, i just got back today

i pretty much know what the outlook is for him if it is the case, but i wondered if anyone has any experience of it

it's such a huge shock, he is only 43

That's great news Lou. wrt TB. Have you thought of speaking to spacedonkey's sister? She may have already suggested it but I thought I'd mention it.

oh great news.

Rhubarb · 05/04/2006 12:08

Best news I've heard all week that is! Brilliant stuff!

Blu · 05/04/2006 12:13

re his late / drunk arrival.
yes, if he's well enough to beahve like that, you probably don't have too much to worry about. I would be WILD with fury - alongside being worried. poor you.

suzywong · 05/04/2006 12:18

that is good news Lou

suzywong · 05/04/2006 12:19

not the rowing and the being drunk, the all clear from the cancer

Bugsy2 · 05/04/2006 12:28

Wow, Lou that is such fantastic news about the cancer. Shame he was an arse about coming back to the kids, particularly after all the support you've given him. Sounds like he must have got himself seriously run down though, to get in the state that he did.

Rhubarb · 05/04/2006 12:31

Typical man to behave in this way. If we got the all clear we'd be round to family and friends putting them out of their misery, but all men can think about is getting pissed! My dh'd probably be the same!

Kick his arse for us!
