oesophageal cancer in healthy woman.

Hi, my wife just had an endoscopy as she’s been struggling to swallow for a few months, and they found a tumour at junction to stomach which is now being tested. Next week is the CT. 

We have been told it’s 90% chance of cancer.

shes only 49 and never smoked or drunk.

is there anyone else in a similar situation?

im terrified. 

  • Hi Rednax,

    I’ve been there with the same cancer. You are at the scariest part of the cancer treatment patheay - knowing there is something there but not knowing for certain what, whether it has spread or what treatment is available. You’ll have answers to those questions fairly soon. 

    Although secondary smoking can be a trigger, only about 40% of cancers are preventable. 

    Good luck with the results.
