Hi guys my name is Katie and I'm 14 years old. My grandad has terminal esophagus cancer, aged 56. I was just wondering if anybody on here could tell me if it's a very painful death and the process of dying with it. Feel free too comment with any stories from family members ect.

Thanks.

    Hi Katie.

    Such courage writing on this chat page for advice about your Grandad when your only 14.

    Cancer is a tricky thing. Not all suffer the same issues .

    complications, treatment and outcomes.

    I haven't had any experience with oesophagus cancer but Mam died aged 66with lung cancer, dad died aged 67 with prostate &kidney cancer and I've got stage 2 breast cancer. So I have some knowledge. My nieces who are 12 and15 didn't like to see there grandparent suffer is the final days-it's hard for grown ups to watch deterioraion.


    Try and spend time with your grandad.

    Take photos. Tell stories. Laugh and hug.
    Tell him you love him. 
    Time with Family is so precious.

    Its Ok to cry too- x

    Thinking of you 

    much love Efffie x
