I'm so sorry for the worry and stress this is causing MarkJoanne,

I hope this information we have about treatment for oesophageal cancer and how to manage diet problems, including what makes swallowing easier with oesophageal cancer, will help address some of your concerns but our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 if it would help to talk things through with them. They'll be back in the office from Tuesday onwards, between 9a.m - 5p.m

We do have quite a few members within our community who have been on this journey so now that I've replied, you hopefully won't have to wait too long to hear about their experiences and gain some valuable insight and advice.

We're thinking of you MarkJoanne and sending you all our strength at this rather challenging and uncertain time.

Kind regards,

I live alone ,I was hoping they would take me into hospice ,so I would not have to die alone, they would be able to look after me probably 

Don’t give up…keep asking for what you want…you will not have been the only one to feel this way…the medics will help.

Thinking of you and how difficult this is. John

Hello Im not sure about where you are in your treatment if any but you should not have to worry alone 

Have you spoken to your medical team about your concerns/ your gp?

They are the ones who would refer you to palliative care team 

Or ring cruk nurse line for support

Or Macmillan nurse line are open 8am to 8pm every day

Hope this helps
