Hi Caitlin

I'd agree with what the others have said about concentrating on the time you have but if you want numbers you can find them here:

beta-about-cancer.cancerresearchuk.org/.../

I won't post the numbers directly because not everybody wants to know and they don't want to stumble upon it in a post like this. Also bear in mind that your gran may not want to know this information so don't go blurting it out! OK? 

It sounds as if you want the section headed advanced oesophagal cancer

There is a lot of variation in how long people survive with terminal cancer so the way these things are generally expressed is by saying what percentage of people survive for x years after diagnosis.

Spend the time wisely and be there for her
