Stage 4 Oesophagus cancer with lymph nodes and liver Mets

Hello my husband has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 Oesophagus cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes and liver he has a large 10cm met in the liver which is causing a lot of discomfort. We have 3 young children and we have been given 1 year with treatment and we start chemo in the next few days. Would be good to hear of anyone going through the same who has beaten this stage or not beaten it. Could he have less than a year? Such a shock for us,

    I’m so sorry about your husbands diagnosis. 

    I have stomach cancer but I’m unable to offer advice specific to your husband, however is you look at the oesophageal patients Association site there is lots of information plus details of local meetings for support. They also have a forum on HealthUnlocked site, you will find people there who may offer more advice and support.   I do hope that treatment is successful and extends the prognosis given to you. 

    Xx
