Hello onos
I am Brian one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of page and I hope seen and answered by other members of the oesophageal cancer group.
May I suggest you also join this group;

I hope that you have linked through to the forum shown in Brian's post, for some additional support.
You will have so many emotions, it is a very scary time for you, and I hope you can get support from other people around you.
I have not been on the forum for a while so I am not sure if there has been any further news for you, but I hope that you are managing, somehow.
