Thank you for the reply 

Hi Paz.

I am new to this online community so can't offer much advice. I wanted to reply as your story is just like my husband's. He had his oesophagus removed in 2020 and has been cancer free until just a few months ago. It has returned and is in his spine and shoulders. Just before Christmas he had radiotherapy to relieve the pain he was getting in his back. He still has pain at times but nothing like he was having. He is due to start chemotherapy in the next couple of weeks. 

I hope you get a treatment plan in place soon. Best wishes.

Hello Angie1311 

Another warm welcome to the Macmillan Online community from me, although I am so sorry to find you and your husband here. I do hope the Radiotherapy has done it's job. Just to let you know we have another group you may wish to join and here's the link:

Chemotherapy forum 

Remember also that our support line is there for everyone on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week).

I hope his chemotherapy goes well and does what is required.

If I can do anything else for you please let me know.

Best wishes - Brian.
