Uncurable oesophageal cancer but been offered chemo and immunotherapy to give me a chance of living longer

6 years ago I had cancer which was cured . Unfortunately at beginning of march I was taken to hospital with chronic stomach  pains it was found I an inflamed pancreas after a ct scan also some tumours were found unfortunately this time can not be operated on . They said because Its serious this time and terminal they are going to do their best and give me chemo and immuno hopefully that will shrink them and give me a 65 percent chance of living longer than 18 months . The immuno is a new type I am having it as a trial which is brilliant . Loads of appointments  though

    I hope that you are able to receive some financial help to make your life a little easier. The cost for living with cancer is substantial, there are lots of outgoings for things to keep you comfortable and medicines and treatments not available on the NHS. Then transport cost for the numerous visits to hospital and decent food to tempt eating with a suppressed appetite.  It does seem unfair that people like you who have worked hard all their lives struggle to get help when they really need it. Perhaps tick the anxiety box, you would not be lying, Im sure everyone with cancer suffers with anxiety.
