Oesophageal cancer

Just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and barrett's syndrome and hiatus hernia,  as if that's not enough,

Waiting to hear what sort of treatment will be recommended . Probably at hospital.

Has anyone had this successfully treated?

  • Hi! Really sorry to hear this,  I had Papillomatosisin the throat, that eventually was closing up, mak8ng it impossible to eat. I had the Ivor Lewis surgery, this was three yrs ago this coming March and have never looked back.

    It was later found out that it was cancerous so I was extremely lucky.

    One other thing was I had no Chemo or radiation so no scar tissue for the surgeons to deal with.
