Hello, my aunt who is 82 has just being diagnosed with oesphagus cancer after having PET scan done they have found tumours in her abdomen & lungs. They have started her on Gabepentin for pain relief however she feels very weak & has no energy.
Hi Pupsy
I can see that you joined the online community when your dad was diagnosed with liver cancer and I hope you've found that it's been both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your aunt has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. I can see that you've found and joined the oesophageal cancer forum which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis to your aunt.
When you feel ready to post, you can start a new post in the same way as you did in the liver cancer forum and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your aunt's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
