Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer

Hi everyone. My mam has been diagnosed with an esophageal adenocarcinoma and probable lung metastasis. We are all devastated. Just wondering if anyone has any advice. Looking like we will only be receiving palliative chemo and radiation so just wondering if anyone knows how can help her with such a vicious cancer . Thanks 

  • Hi Ailey,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your mam - this must be an awful lot to process and deal with.

    It sounds like you may still be waiting for more information about possible next steps from the medical team. Try to make a note of any questions you have so that you can talk things through with them, as it's important you understand what to potentially expect as well as possible.

    You are also welcome to speak to one of our nurses if you would like to. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    We are always here for support on the forum if ever you need it, and I hope that it is helpful for you, and that you get some more replies to your post here soon. You can also browse or search the forum for other discussions and people to connect with, if you would like to.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
