  • Hello Becks1980

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum is currently undergoing tests for suspected cancer. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned. 

    We do have some information here on our website which includes some of the symptoms that can lead to a diagnosis. We also have quite a few members here on the forum who have or have a loved one, with oesophageal cancer and if you use the forum search function to look for the term you'll find lots of posts that you can read through. 

    You may find it helpful to have a chat with one of our team of nurses. I'm sure they will be able to give you some advice and information whilst you're still waiting on Mum's diagnosis. They're available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you both get on. 

    Best wishes,
