  • Hello Sammy_K and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling and can understand that this period of waiting can be a difficult. If you find yourself being overwhelmed by thoughts, there are ways of coping with waiting for news and guidance around oesophageal cancer on our website, which you can refer at anytime. I hope this is useful for you.

    I hope your next appointment comes around soon, so you can discuss the possible next steps with your doctor and any other concerns you may have. You can also contact our team of cancer nurses on the free helpline 0808 800 4040. Lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Moderator Anastasia
