Hello

First off, I don't know how much to say in a 'joining' post?

I've just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, which is inoperable as it's spread to other areas. Now awaiting a call to have a stent fitted to enable me to eat a little better, then radiotherapy sessions.

  • Hi there, welcome to the forum, but sorry for why you're here. As far as what to say on this forum, don't ever worry about that. We all know how difficult this is for newcomers and we have all been new at one time. You will find people on this forum to be very caring and supportive. You have opened the door and soon other people on the forum will be responding. I'm sure right now you're pretty scared because you have no idea what the future holds for you. Most of us know what that feels like too. I've been on this road now for 7 years and it doesn't get any easier, but perhaps we get a little thicker skinned. Come back on the forum and tell us a little more about yourself and just write about your experience. It does help to get it out there and people on here understand.

    Let us know when you get your apt. and how its' going for you.

    Take care.

    Lorraine
