Hi I was recently told my cancer was treatable but not curable and I'm really worried what this means I'm only 31 and it's in my neck oesephugus and possibly in my lungs can anyone help
Hi Stacie, sorry about your diagnosis it must all be a blur at the minute.
I too was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, treatable not curable 12 months ago, I'm 48 married with 3 kids. I have undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy to reduce the cancer and stall it in its path - so far so good I'm still at work and enjoy family life greatly.
Speak to your allocated nurse specialist and cancer team who will be able to advise you accordingly and with additional support from Macmillan and Maggies you will have a great support network to help you through.
Thank you for your reply so how does the chemo affect you because I've read lots of different side affects. I haven't started treatment yet so I'm very worried about it with the whole hair loss and the sickness everyone is different but I'm so glad family and work life is treating you well and I hope that carries on in the future for you and your family
