Hi. I've just been diagnosed last Thursday with oesophageal cancer at the goj part after a gastroscopy. I've had a CT scan and waiting on a pet scan. I've only had a 10 minute meeting with the consultant who told me it was cancer, he said they think they can treat it with surgery and to cancel any plans over the next month or so. I then got a call from a different person who said they would make decision on treatment after pet scan. I'm just wondering what others experiences have been? Does the pet scan show if it's spread (first consultant told me it looked clear on the CT but it was only chest/abdomen and pelvis scan)No-one has mentioned chemo before surgery so I'm wondering if this is usually something they do?. I am planning on phoning them to discuss later this week but just wondering what others experiences were? Thanks.
