My 70 yr old husband has been thru the same…diagnosed stage 2 localised. He decided to have the surgery..Ivor Lewis. He is now nearly 10 months post op. The chemo shrank his tumour considerably but couldn’t guarantee no cells were left so that’s why he chose surgery. He has always been tall and thin, and has since lost around 135 lbs…it’s been a battle to gain any weight but he’s still pleased he had the surgery. It’s a very personal decision and such a hard one. Just giving you another perspective and whatever yr husband has chosen, I’m sending yr husband positive vibes for a long and healthy life. Thinking of you too…it’s been a very long 10 months and I can relate to you and how you feel as a wife. Sending hugs x
