Hi my husband has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer on the 10th of April. He’s very weak and has had an iron infusion. He’s on a liquid diet since the 10th. Have an appointment on Tuesday with the macmillan cancer nurse at the hospital to find out the stage and treatment plan. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hello Chase1609
Welcome to the Online community - although I am so sorry to find you joining us. I am Brian one of the Community Champions here on the Community.
The Community is divided up into cancer specific groups and to "meet" others in the same or similar situation I would advise you to join the Oesophageal cancer group - here's the link you need:
Once you click on the link and the page opens up, click on "join" on the black banner at the bottom of the page - you can then introduce yourself in the "New Here - Say Hello" section. You can either copy and paste or repost the post above.
Meetings are all different so I would take a pen and paper with a list of your questions - here's a link to a list that will help you prepare:
Questions to ask your healthcare team.
I hope the above helps and wish you well on Tuesday. If you need any further help in navigating the Community please do get back to me.
