Hi, so pleased to have found these forums. Feel so helpless. My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 oesophageal cancer about a month a go. It has spread to her lungs and liver. We are in total shock as this came from no where. The only symptoms she had was a swollen belly and a bit of heartburn. She was sent for an ultrasound scan as they thought her swollen belly was due to problems with her ovaries. They noticed spots on her liver and she was told she may have liver cancer. She then had a CT scan and was told she had stage 4 oesophageal cancer which had spread. She is devastated. They said she may only have months to live. She is only 57. She is now waiting to see if they can do any treatment. So far the care she has had has been poor. I am her big sister and just want to help her.
