Clinical trial

Offline

Hello everyone. 
does anyone know of anyone who's been offered a clinical trial ? Or had the experience of one?  I'm just waiting for my partners radiotherapy to kick in as it can take  up to 4 weeks to see if it's worked . He's stage 4 oesophageal cancer sadly can't be operated on at all . 
He's tube fed through the nose, he's currently not eating anything at all. He tried ice cream y day and could only manage 2 small spoons . 

Any reply's welcome thank you . 

 

  • Hello Rusty1

    I'm unsure if any of our members who have had oesophageal cancer have been involved in clinical trials. Hopefully, if any of them have they will see your post and reply to share their experiences. 

    In the meantime, I wanted to give you the link to some information that we have on our website about clinical trials. If you want to speak to our team of nurses for any advice you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    I know that many of our members here have written about their experiences with radiotherapy and I hope that things settle for your partner soon. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you're both doing. 

    Best wishes,
