Hi Peeps,

i was diagnosed with Cancer of the oesophagus I am grateful to this site for having me & I apologise in advance as I tend waffle on a bit! I have many things to say & ask etc but for now I am desperate for advice please, I start having Radiotherapy in 5days & the y said I would need to have oxygen on hand at home but I can't get anyone to tell me where from? who supplies oxygen ie, Hosp, Hospice, Drs? Please can anyone advise, I'm scared enough & now I'm panicking.

I really appreciate your time. Thank you.
