Oesophagus cancer

My husband has been diagnosed with osophagus cancer the 2nd one at the junction box. We are going to start chemotherapy today as it's too bad for any operation. When the doctor asked if we have critical illness cover I knew it was bad. I'm scared we have 5 children. I've never felt so alone.

Hi
Sorry about your news. My dad had the same 9 years ago.
Just been looking after mum for over 2 year with cancer too. She has just died, so very heartbroken.
All I can say is keep days full with talking and trips out. if possible.

Hello sameboat,
We are so sorry for your loss. It is normal to feel heartbroken and I hope that this forum will bring you a little comfort when you are feeling down.
You have given some good advice to Amanda and keeping days full and trips out are always a good distraction.
Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time,
