Hi,
My Mum 71 years old she had a Dr’s appointment three weeks ago for indigestion and has now had as endoscopy where she was told she has a she esophageal tumour between 25cm - 18cm and it’s 7cm in size does anyone know where about as in its this upper or lower oesophagus?
She had a CT today and was told the results will be forwarded to the GI MDT so now it’s just a waiting game. Obviously, as a family with devastated she is in pain mainly back ache and has been offered no pain relief and she has already lost 1/2 a stone.
I’m just so worried about her……..
I’m an only child and feel so alone right now and just don’t know what to expect…..
Hi Rkji
I am very sorry to read that your Mum has been diagnosed with an oesophagaul tumour, I can understand how worried you are and I am pleased that you have found us here at the OC forum.
The MDT team will work quickly to determine the best course of treatment for your Mum, unfortunately every single day that goes by will feel like an eternity waiting for more information.
This type of Cancer has been in the top research over the past few years and things have changed dramatically and for many the treatment has been helpful.
I do hope that she hears back from MDT soon and that you let her know she is welcome to contact Macmillan on the number in my signature if she has any questions of her own.
