Oesophageal cancer

Hello,

My father has recently had an oesophago gastrectomy (7 weeks ago) and I was wondering if anyone else is in or has been through a similar situation/post op recovery?

Thanks in advance

 

 

  • Hello NicholasA

    I'm sorry to hear about your Dad's diagnosis. I do hope that his recovery from the surgery is progressing without too many difficulties. 

    We've quite a few members who have been through treatment for oesophageal cancer or who have cared for a loved one during the journey. I'd suggest having a look at this thread and posting a message on there. Hopefully, you'll be able to connect with some of those members there. There's lots of patient and carer experience and I'm sure they will share their advice with you. 

    If you'd like to chat with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. They'll be happy to offer any advice, information, and support that they can. 

    I hope that you're able to chat with others who understand your situation soon. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
