Susan - oesophageal cancer now spread to liver

I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer last October, since then I have had chemo and radiotherapy.  2 months ago I was given the all clear, but unfortunately,  today I was told it had spread to my liver. 

I'm feeling pretty scared but hopefully they can still help me

 Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  • Hello Burden.  So sorry that you have had this devastating news, especially when you were given the all clear 2 months ago.  However, just because the cancer has spread, this doesn't mean that nothing can be done.  Back in November 2022, I was told that I had about a year to live (breast cancer that had spread to my lungs and lymphatic system).  However, I am still here!  Also,  I knew a man that was told that he had just a few months to live and he lived another 22 years.  It is absolutely natural that you are feeling scared, but I always say that where there is life, there is hope.  Good luck.
