Hello walnutboydave (that's a fun username and avatar by the way!), 

I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't mind but I have added information to your title on your cancer diagnosis - this will make it easier for others who may have the same cancer to find you and respond to you. 

It's a shame that with Covid, it has become harder to attend real life meetings and I hope that the situation will improve soon so that you can have that kind of support too. But rest assured you are not alone on Cancer Chat and there are many others here who have also been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. I thought I would mention [@stevecon56]‍ for example whose thread you can find here  and who I think would be a good person for you to talk to. I also noticed on this thread this morning other members who have been affected by oesophageal cancer, for example [@mark73]‍ who would be another great person for you to connect with. You can read his story on his thread here .

Those are just a couple of names and there are many more who I hope will come forward and share their story and experience with you. 

Best wishes,
