My husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer October of 2010. He went through treatments, surgeries, has dealt with many infections. October of 2011 he was in the hospital again, dealing with infection. A CT scan was done and they told us his cancer had spread to the liver and lungs. At that time he was given 6 months to a year depending on treatment. He has not been able to get treatment because of the infections. Yesterday I was speaking with his nurse. She said his liver was beginning to shut down, his belly is puffed out and his temp is low. What does that mean for his prognosis? She also said that she believes his other organs are not working properly. He sleeps most of the time these days, has very little energy, has lost a bunch of weight. I don't know what to think.
