Hi, my wife has oesophageal cancer, she is waiting for treatment to start at the end of May, she can only eat liquid foods, but now is getting a little pain in the right hand side of her rib cage? Has anyone else had any issues with this, is it normal?
Hi,
Apart from, presumably, the endoscopy which was used to confirm your wife’s OC, what other tests has she had? CT scan? PET scan? Laparoscopy? These are used to check for any spread of the cancer which, of course, is your main worry when other symptoms present themselves. CB
