How are people coping with this disease- any tips? Thank you
I am just finished treatment. Boy it's hard for sure. Check out my posts.
Thank you - new on this how do I do that? Glad your treatment is finished - are you cancer free.
I only finished radiotherapy last Thursday. So I'm stilll burnt on the neck skin, my mouth is red raw and still basically have the after effects. I was one of the lucky ones. I needed very little medicine and pain relief. I dont take any pain med now and the burning is much more healed. I face the multiple follow up appointments and scans and healing now.
Hi
i has stomach cancer which normally follows the same treatment path as oesophageal cancer. Have a look at the oesophageal patients association website, they give lots of practical advice about treatment, diet etc. They also have a forum on the HealthUnlocked site, you can find a lot of information there and advice from fellow sufferers and carers.

Thank you - I will
Thank you for the information- I will check out the sites- good luck
Did you need to have chemotherapy or an operation or did you have only radiotherapy
Just Radiotheraphy but it was brutal. So much worse than ever imaginable.
Hope you are improving- I have had radiotherapy for a previous cancer so know how you feel. I am having Chemotherapy then an op and won't know to after whether I will need more chemo and radiotherapy.
Wishing you the very best. It's so sad that we are enduring this brutal horrendous disease.
