Hi all, I am very new to this, my husband was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer a few weeks ago and we had the endoscopy and CT Scan and told it was curable with an operation, got referred to Oxford hospital, had a consultation and the surgeon said it might not be curable and was very negative and said if it has spread then it is incurable. Had the PET Scan and they called us to say it has spread to the liver and that was it. I called our Macmillan nurse because we didn’t know what to expect, she said the oncologist is off next week so won’t get an appointment until the following week to find out what is going on. We are trying to carry on as normal but it is so hard, we have 4 young children and our life has been sent on a rollercoaster. Can anyone offer any advice or experiences when it has spread? We don’t even know what stage or anything, the whole thing has just been a nightmare and we have waited nearly 5 weeks since his endoscopy where we were told straight after you have cancer but I can’t tell you anything else because I don’t know. The waiting is driving us insane. He can’t eat most foods but can drink, has lost almost 4 stone in weight, we have seen a dietitian but his eating is getting harder. Thank you in advance for any replies! Leanne
