Hi to you people I have never done anything like this before but to be honest with you all I am broken my dad at 59 years of age has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer stage 4 and level 3 aggressive I’m only 24 and this is just unbelievable he’s potentially going to be starting chemo within the next couple of weeks and I’m now just scared no knowing what’s going to happen next and would like to know if any of you guys have any advice, on what is going to happen,

cheers ️

  • A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat community Jackjames2410, although I'm really sorry to hear about your dad.

    This must be a very scary and difficult time for you both but I'm glad you've reached out to us as we have many members who have been on this journey and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.

    We have a section on our website about oesophageal cancer that I hope you will find useful but if you have any further questions or concerns, you can give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and put your mind at ease about your dad's chemotherapy.

    We're sending you all our support Jackjames2410 and wishing your dad all the best with his treatment in a couple of weeks time.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
