  • Hello Gran-to-four, 

    I am so sorry to hear that your husband's oesophageal cancer may have returned and I hope your doctor can tell you more about soon what to expect once they have had all the results from his recent tests. 

    I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been in a similar situation in the past and been told that their oesophageal cancer has returned. If you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, don't hesitate to call them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. It's bound to be a lot for you both to take in at the moment so it might help to have a chat to one of our nurses if you felt you needed clarity on anything. 

    Best wishes to you and your husband,
