Hi I'm a 64 nearly 65 year old female. I had a gastroscopy last Thursday. The endoscopic diagnosis  was an esophageal tumour- malignant. 8 biopsies were taken . I have not yet had a definite diagnosis but fast track biopsies were requested as was a staging CT TAP scan. I am not sure what will happen next and how it might progress. 

Has any one had any experience of this and what should I be doing in the meantime if anything? I've also got a holiday booked on 10th July. I hadn't got round to getting insurance. Is there a chance I will get any money back? 

Thankyou as you can tell I'm feeling very worried but can't express that to my family as they are already very upset (my 40 year old daughter came with me to the appointment and the consultants was definite he thought the biopsy would confirm cancer) advice would be greatly appreciated  xx
