Dad has oesophageal cancer

Hi, my dad has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, he's to have 3 different chemotherapy treatments in one in the next couple of weeks, after he's had a test from chemo he will then have surgery to remove the part of his oesothogus that has the tumor and will have further chemotherapy afterwards.

I just feel very alone, not sure how to cope myself keeping a brave face on for dad and supporting him with all his appointments

Id love to connect with carers going through similar circumstances. Maybe we can support eachother, I don't want to offload my worries onto the family were all dealing with this and I don't like to burden my family anymore

    Very sad to read your post about your dad.  I have lost my dad to Esophagus cancer and barely two years later I lost my husband to Junctional Esophagus cancer.  

    You are such a support to your dad.  This forum is so needed and a good place to connect to others for help and support.  Cancer research is also a wonderful support as has been mentioned and McMillan.  Another wonderful support are the Maggies Centres.   II you go onto the website and look at all the support in so many ways they can help.

    I wish your dad you and your family love and strength take care x
