Hi has anyone survived this after being told they can’t have surgery due to distant lymph node above collarbone involved? Fit and healthy otherwise, so been a complete shock.
I can understand that this diagnosis has come as a shock and I hope you're coping as best as you can. Don't be afraid to lean on those closest to you for support when needed and do talk to your medical team, as they may help address the question you have.
It's difficult for us on the forum to answer but, if you'd like to speak to a cancer nurse outside your team, we have a free nurse helpline available if there's anything you'd like to discuss over the phone. The number is 0808 800 4040 and lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. You can also find information on many aspects of oesophageal cancer on our website.
