Possible oesophageal cancer

Hi everyone,

I'm 32 and I may have this sort of cancer... I'm positively terrified...

My ent is fairly certain I don't due to the rarity of it in my age group and gender but we won't know till the biopsy. I'm having a lot of issues with eating currently feeling like food is getting stuck on the way down, can't seem to throw up anything though even when feeling very nauseous. Just constant heart burn at the moment all day long with a horrid taste in my mouth. Wondering if anyone had experience of this sort of cancer or anything similar.

Ive got two kids 6 and 2 and all I want is to still be here for them.

Going for an endoscopy soon for a biopsy, hoping it's a good outcome.

  • Hi Mochamoo,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of your worries and I know the uncertainty is never easy. Try not to assume anything at this point. Hopefully you'll have the biopsy soon and be able to get the results not too long after. In the meantime try to keep your mind off things as much as possible, although I appreciate this is easier said than done particularly if you're experiencing difficult symptoms.

    I hope you're able to find out more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
