Oesophageal cancer

In my experience. Diagnostic tests and treatments were expedited by the NHS and I can not see where reaching out to Europe would have been of any advantage. 

I would imagine it would be quite difficult to treat in Germany unless you were able to rent somewhere for a year or so as the treatment isnt completed that quickly, plenty of people have to go into hospital for  different reasons after the operation or if there are certain symptoms they are back to the hospital for tests or scans, I can’t see how it would work. If it is what you go for I wish you every success. My husband was diagnosed in March 2023 with a stage 3 OC and he is still getting 3 monthly scans and visits to the oncologist. Stay strong and positive, it is a long road and loads of people have good news in the end. This group is amazing and so helpful to patients and family members. 

Thank you both so much for those helpful comments and you’ve both confirmed for me what I thought deep down. We have a really good centre in Guildford and we live quite near which makes life easier. The stress of going abroad would be huge, much better to be in your own home amongst family and friends and as you say there will be so many trips back and forth to hospital. Already I feel better having this group to share a thought with. 
I suppose the only time it might be useful is if a single treatment was suggested that isn’t offered here. Then through this agreement with the EU and Switzerland you can access that treatment, then return home and continue with your hospital here. 
We are lucky to have choices.
