Newly diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and the Fear

Hi I was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer last month and I have had a laparoscopy and having an endoscopic ultrasound tomorrow. I wondered if anyone has any ideas how I can help the absolute overwhelming fear that I am experiencing. I am having really bad dreams and hardly sleeping. The smallest mention of cancer on TV sends me into a panic and I am so worried about upsetting my wife and 20 year old son. It seems to never leave my thoughts.

    Glad to hear your wife is getting the nutrition she needs now. My sons tumour almost blocked his oesophagus but luckily he somehow managed to eat up to the chemo and then it shrank anyway. Hopefully your wife will get chemo soon & be able to eat again.
