My dear little brother had esophageal cancer that also metasticised to his liver (and lymph nodes) and we lost him when he was only 35. He had three small sons and a loving wife. Tragic and so very, very sad to watch him suffering and live only 7 months after his diagnosis. The family did everything - medically and spiritually - at the time. How I wish we/I had known of Blessed Fr. Seelos then (that was in 1993).
I am sorry for your loss. I saw 2 new patients today with esophageal cancer. Hopefully they will survive their illness.
