Hello Neloth, 

I am so sorry to hear your dad has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and that it is stage 3. I thought I would share with you Cancer Research UK's reliable information on oesophageal cancer so that you get an idea as to what to expect. There is a section too on what stage 3 oesophageal cancer is. 

You're definitely not alone and you've come to the right place to meet others who have had a similar diagnosis or who have looked after a loved one with oesophageal cancer. Do feel free to use the 'search forum' option in the search bar above to look for other 'oesophageal cancer' discussions. I had a little look for you and found for example Bbl2023 's thread whose auntie was diagnosed a few months ago with oesophageal cancer - feel free to respond to it if you wish. 

If you would like to talk to one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m - they will be happy to answer any questions you may have on oesophageal cancer. 

I hope you find out more soon about your dad's treatment options and I hope it all goes well for him. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
