  • Hello DiaDia

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with things so much at the moment. It's obviously a difficult time for both you and your husband and it's understandable that you may be feeling overwhelmed and lonely. 

    Can I suggest that you have a look at this thread and maybe post a comment. There are lots of patients and partners on this thread who have experience with oesophageal cancer and I'm sure you will be able to connect with others who understand. 

    It can be good to talk to someone at times like this and I'd really encourage you to give our team of nurses a call for a chat. I'm sure they will be able to offer you some advice and support. They're available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Please keep in touch with us DiaDia. We're here to listen and I'm sure the community will do all they can to offer you support. 

    Best wishes,
