Hi there, am sorry you have found yourself with this diagnosis, there are sadly quite a few people here in a similar situation and its a good place to come for any questions you have, and for support.

My husband was diagnosed with 4cm tumor in his oesophagus in November 2020, and scan shortly afterwards revealed spread to his lung and lymph nodes in his chest. He was therefore not able to have the operation. He is having EOX chemotherapy and doing really well, he has gone from struggling to eat solid foods to eating everything again, in just a couple of months. No stent yet. We have gone from total despair to feeling actually very positive. He is due another scan soon so we will know more then.

There are many people who do have the op, and recover well, albeit taking a lot of time to adjust to new eating regimes etc afterwards. Try not to google, it really doesnt help and everyone is so different in what stage they are, and health, fitness, how they respond to treatment. Wishing you the best going forward do take care.
