Dad diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer

Neloth

Hi all. My name isn’t actually Neloth but you can call me that. I’m 20.  

My dad (in his early 50s) was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer almost two weeks ago and today received news that it is stage three (kinda expected with oesophageal cancer). I’ve done lots of reading into it right from the initial test and I know it’s bad. Wondering who else is out there with similar news. I think hearing I'm not alone would be reassuring for me and maybe for you too.

    Hi Neloth. 
    Just thought I’d reach out and say hello. 
    My dad was diagnosed with stage 1 tonsil cancer in spring, so I know how you’re feeling. It’s been a very long few months but he finished radiotherapy a week ago and is doing extremely well. 
    Hang in there. I know how difficult it can be seeing your Dad go through so much so be kind to yourself in the meantime. Here if you want to chat x

    I'm 11 month from having my esophagus tumour removed. Yes it has been a struggle but I'm slowly getting there. If you want to talk I'm here. I find it helps speaking to others who have been there. Sending love and hugs.
