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 Amanda B,

    Sorry to hear about our husband. Has he been told what stage his Cancer has reached? 

    There are a few of us on here who have inoperable Oesophageal Cancer - so please feel free to ask if you have any questions.  

    I hope the chemo goes well and proves to be effective for him. I was on the EOX regime which was exhausting towards the end, but it was worthwhile in the long run. 

    Good luck
    Dave
