I am waiting for my father results. It is looking like the same cancer :(. May I ask what was your partner symptons.

Did you try any medicine that alleviated coughs and general fatigue. 

Hello Lilly -me

Thank you for sharing 

It crept up silently just got more. And more  fatigued

 And then symptoms of heart burn that was dismissed as GERD.

No cough 

Difficulty swallowing which got worse and worse....

Rest is best for fatigue .

If fathers swallow is affected protein milkshakes are a good way of getting some calories etc inb

Blending food to a smooth consistency ....and extra liquid like gravy cream custard etc 

The important thing is your father has had tests so you can find out for definite what is going on for him. 

ask for information and dont be afraid to ask again if you miss something.....or dont understand lots to wrap your head around 

And speak to Macmillian team they are brilliant especially financial support team...

I hope this helps a little

You are not alone

Hope your father gets his results soon RD x
