My dad has just been diagnosed and advised that surgery is not an option as the cancer has spread to his cells.
As far as I know he will get chemotherapy.
I would really like to talk to people who have dealt with this type of cancer as I am not coping very well and am scared of what the future holds.
Thanks in advance
Hi and welcome to the forum. I am sorry to read about your dad's diagnosis and understand the turmoil your family are going through. There is a gentleman called Davek on the site who also has oesophugal cancer and has been through chemotherapy treatment. He has a thread called 'and now we wait'. I am sure he would be happy to help and answer your questions if he can, so suggest you put a post on his thread just in case he misses yours. Please also remember that you can talk to the nurses here Monday to Friday - their free-phone telephone number is shown on this page. I hope you get the help you need and keep in touch to let us know how you and dad are doing. Take care x
