Osophageal Cancer

I have been diagnosed with osophageal cancer. Does this mean i will be placed in a tube like structure and bombarded with xrays as part of the treatment?

  • Hello ex-miner and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. There are different treatments depending on what your medical team feel will work best so I'd encourage you to discuss this, and any other concerns you may have, with them. There is information on many aspects of oesophageal cancer on our website, including treatment options and support that might be available to you. I hope this is helpful and we also have a helpline if you ever needed to contact our team of cancer nurses. You can call 0808 800 4040 for free and lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    Do keep us updated on how things are going.
