Oesophageal Cancer

Hi Everyone, 

I am new here and hoping for some advice/support. My Mum has recently been diagnosed with cancer in upper osephoagus (not sure if spelling it right). She can't swallow liquid or food and is being fed through pic line. She's vomiting lot of blood and has pain in upper back. She's in hospital currently and we are waiting on the staging full prognosis. These symptoms to me seem very advanced? Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? She is due to try have a stent fitted tomorrow. 
Thanks all, Rose

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Ladyrose although I'm sorry about your mum's recent diagnosis.

    Although no-one here can say where your mum is in terms of prognosis you can find out more about oesophageal cancer on our website just here. Our cancer nurses are also available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to have a chat with them about this as well.

    I hope her stent fitting went well yesterday and you're aren't waiting too long to find out her staging.

    Best wishes to you both,
