  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Darkman1960, although I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with oesophageal cancer earlier this year. This must have been very difficult news to receive.

    I'm not sure from your post if you're having any treatment at the moment but if you are, I hope it's going well and you aren't experiencing too many side effects.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had this diagnosis will offer their support and advice to you soon, but if you have any other questions or concerns you can give one of our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable and will do all they can to help.

    In the meantime, we're wishing you all the best on this journey.

    Kind regards,
