  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Kaya86 although I'm sorry to hear your wife has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.

    This must be a very difficult time for you both but our members are here for you Kaya and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice. 

    Supporting someone with cancer can be very tough, so if you have any questions or would just like to talk things through with someone, do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and will do all they can to help and address any worries or concerns you may have at this time.

    I'm not sure from your post what day your wife's PET scan is this week, but I want to wish you both the very best of luck and let you know we'll be thinking of you.

    Kind regards,
