Just diagnosed with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Very scared

We have a 2-3 hour Zoom appointment this coming Thursday to meet his care team. They’ll tell us the results of the tests and recommended action from there. I feel better knowing we have that coming up, but it also still feels like he should have started treatment by now. I have had some good days where I feel hopeful. My low moments are now just moments and not whole days, so maybe that’s progress?

I agree with the other posters - do what you can to keep your husband healthy. Protein shakes for nutrition (keeping his weight up) and exercise are important components, and having a positive attitude definitely helps. He’s not alone on this journey, and you can “lean on” members of this group for support!

Try to be positive. You'll have lots of help and very kind people attending to you. Time moves quickly and before you know it the surgery and tests will be done and you'll be at home.
