Hello - a year on from surgery from oesophageal cancer

Hi. I'd just like to introduce myself. I'm currently a year on from my major opeartion for oesophageal cancer and two months away from retirement. I still suffer from the effects of surgery to an extent but I'm glad that I'm still here!

The staff at my hospital were marvellous.

  • Hello Dff

    Welcome to the forum and I'm glad to hear that you're doing well following your surgery last year. I'm sure that it's been a real rollercoaster at times and I suspect that you're looking forward to being able to enjoy your retirement in a few months! 

    I'm sure that at some point in the future, your post will offer some hope to others who are just starting on their treatment journey. 

    I also wanted to give you links to two other threads on the forum where members who have been through treatment for oesophageal cancer have shared their stories. You might want to have a look and perhaps connect with other members on this thread and this thread

    I hope that your health continues to improve Dff and that the side effects remain manageable. 

    Sending you my best wishes for a long and happy retirement!

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
