Looking for fellow oesophageal cancer sufferers to share experiences with.

Does anyone on here have cancer of the oesophagus? And anyone have a stent in their throat? Looking to share experiences. 

  • Hi Andy, and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and have a stent fitted in your throat. This must be a very difficult and challenging time.

    Hopefully some of our members will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice, but you're more than welcome to reach out to others on any recent discussions you find about oesophageal cancer when using the 'search forum' option at the top of this page. All you need to do is click on the pink 'reply' button underneath a member's post if you want to chat to them.

    I hope you connect with others who are on this journey soon Andy_B, but if you have any other questions or concerns about your diagnosis and/or treatment in the meantime, you can get in touch with our team of cancer nurses. You can either call them on 0808 800 4040 (phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m) or make a new post in their section of the forum, called ask the nurses. They're very knowledgeable and will do all they can to help.

    We're sending you all our support Andy_B and wishing you all the best on this journey.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
