My husband has oesophageal cancer as his primary cancer but this has spread to many parts of his body including 3 brain metastases. He has his last of 8 chemo sessions next week. They have said they have some radiotherapy ‘in reserve’ but does anyone know of anything else that is out there and available or is this it for him now? We have our last consultants appointment just before the chemo and I want to be able to fight for him to have any other treatment that may be available. I’m hoping that someone reading this would be able to advise. Thank you.
Hi Room301
I am really sorry to hear about your husbands cancer journey.
I hope that his chemotherapy has helped and that he has not been too unwell with it.
These links may be helpful in preparing for the next appointment and may give ideas on what to ask about.

If talking things through would help, then please do give the Support Line a call. The details are below.
I hope this helps a bit and I wish your husband well for his last chemo cycle. I hope that the appointment with the consultant goes well and that you are able to get the answers you need.
Jane
