Apart from recurring heartburn/indigestion -  6 weeks ago out of the blue my son was diagnosed with Oesophagal cancer at Stage 4 with less than a year of life left!

How can anyone cope with that as a parent? Let alone my son who has a lovely wife and 4 daughters.

He lives quite a distance away from us and my husband is dusabled - what can I do? Feeling so distraught.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that your son has just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and I know what a difficult time this will be for the whole family.

    I can see that you've already found and joined the family and friends group which is a great place to get support from others who have a loved one living with cancer.

    When you feel ready to post there clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help

  • So sorry to hear about your Son. Are they offering any treatment? My father has just been diagnosed with the same cancer but we know nothing yet - no staging etc. Its all a total minefield isn’t it!
