oesophagus cancer

Hi all

just wondered it anyone had any experience with oesophagus cancer that is terminal and chemo etc is stopped as not working. What’s the prognosis generally for time left? Is it painful, are there signs things are going downhill. My mum has it and is now sofa bound, not eating and has no energy. She has almost given up. Is that her or the cancer? Is it weeks? I don’t want to sound morbid but more want to be prepared menatally to help her and others etc

    Hi Sam. How are you and your Mum? I know we have spoken before. My Mum has now reached the point where she has been taken off chemo and has been given 3 months. We are all just absolutely devastated and trying to get our heads around it. As much as we were expecting this day, it’s still a shock when it comes. I pray you are all doing ok xx
