Oesophageal cancer

My husband has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer which has spread to the bone and liver. Is there anybody that can give us some hope as they say that the tumour in the oesophagus cannot have surgery should we get a second opinion

Thanks 

  • Hello Dorice

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband has been told that he has oesphageal cancer which has spread to the bone and liver. It must have been very hard to hear the news that surgery isn't possible. 

    What have the specialists said about his care going forwards? If you do feel that you want to pursue a second opinion then we have some inforationon our website that may be useful. You're laso most welcome to give our team of specialist nurses a call to talk things through with them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Sending both our best wishes,
