Just wanted to say I know first hand about misdiagnosis!! I met the love of my life last year and we get along so great we planned on getting married back a few months ago. He felt sick alot at his stomache but his medical doctor just wanted to give him pain meds and ended up being about every stomache medication (over the counter and prescription) that i believe was every made. I know we kept the drug companies in alot of money just like millions of other americans. He started loosing weight and having a hard time swallowing couldn't get his food to go down into his stomache. Went to a local emergency room at the end of October and was told by some doctor that she "thought" he had a hiatal hernia or a ulcer this was after 20 hours in the ER and no test other than a CT Scan. She sent him home and the weekend was awful he was so sick he couldn't even get up out of bed. On Tuesday the following week I went to the medical doctor with him and he again wanted to give him medication I said no way we need to do some testing he argued with me for a moment but ended up scheduling him for a EGD (my fiance' didn't have insurance). I will never forget this day for as long as I live we went to the same hospital the next morning for the EGD and found out he has esophageal cancer. Over the last few months we have been through alot. We selected to go 3 hours away from home to get treatment and he finished in March with Chemo and RT. We were ready for surgery in April and found out while doing pre-ops he has 10 tumors on his brain and were now taking whole brain radiation. I can only hope that something good happens to us. He's my everything and I can't image not even 1 day without him in my life. I still want to marry him more than anything and I hope we can get him to a place that it can happen there's nothing more I could ever ask for. He on the other hand thinks I crazy. I hope that this helps someone else out there that could be going through what were dealing with. I would love any output on this that anyone may have. thanks for reading my story if anything it felt good to just write it down.
