Stage 3 oesophageal cancer, at the top of the gullet

Hi.  Is there anyone out there who had a tumour at the top of the gullet?  I have had chemo and radiotherapy but am currently suffering with side effects from that radiotherapy, including excessive saliva.  
Struggling to manage the saliva as too thick to swallow.  Currently being fed through a stomach feeding tube and struggling to drink properly.

Advice welcome

  • Hi Maggie

    If you search for RayB at the top of the page, there are many posts from a group that have had this type of cancer, there maybe some tips on there, maybe you could reach out to one of the group for advice.  I know that I have seen Milly post on the forum in the last few months, her husband suffered from it, she may have some ideas.

    Good luck with finding something that helps.
