    Hello there

    You are not alone. 

    My hubby  has oesophageal  cancer too with secondaries in his bones.so he has been palliative treatment from the get go.

    It really knocks you sideways and its a roller coaster. Its good to talk hubby has a counsellor which helps and I reach out to friends and therapist and here 

    I do things for myself from walking to watching silly funny memes whatever gives you a bit of relief it helps keep you going.

    Ask all the questions you need to

    Sending kind wishes RB
