Summary
- A 35-year-old father of three received a stage four oesophageal adenocarcinoma diagnosis.
- He has been given an estimated nine months to live.
- He is raising funds for private treatment and to create family memories.
John Robertson, a 35-year-old father of three from Ayr, Scotland, has been diagnosed with stage four oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The devastating news came last month after he experienced difficulty swallowing and significant weight loss, losing three stone in two and a half months.
This rare cancer has spread to his lungs, throat, adrenal gland, and liver, leaving doctors with a prognosis of only nine months. John expressed his heartbreak at the thought of not witnessing his children's futures.
He is now on a liquid diet, with chemotherapy planned. John has initiated a fundraising campaign to explore private treatments and clinical trials, while also seeking to create cherished memories with his family.
