Oesophageal cancer

Just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.  Very worried that the malignant tumour found is large at 8cm and this means the cancer has spread. 
I am waiting now for a CT scan but not sure what exactly this will find. 
I’ve got so many questions. I’m very worried about theNHS waiting lists here in Wales and that my cancer will grow beyond treatment.

  • Hello classicalmosaic,

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I can understand you're worried, but I hope your CT scan appointment comes soon. It might help to write down any questions you have on a notepad and take them with you. It can be hard to process what's said at appointments, but this way you can feel more prepared and know that all the things you want to discuss will be covered. There is some information on oesophagel cancer here, which you can refer to whenever you need it.

    The forum is always here for you and we also have a team of cancer nurses available if you ever wanted to speak to someone on the phone. The free number is 0808 800 4040 and lines are open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    Let us know how you get on,
