Hi My husband got told just yesterday he has a oesophageal tumour we are waiting for biopsy results and a CT scan to see if its spread he is terrified and im scared of loosing him too but can't tell him this its hell on earth waiting any advice welcomed
Hi there, the waiting is awful and your imagination runs wild but try to sit tight until you’ve got the results as tumour may be small and contained as mine was when it was diagnosed in January 2022. I had the chemotherapy and then the op which removed all the tumour and luckily it hadn’t spread anywhere and lymph nodes were all clear so fingers crossed too for your husband.
Has he been informed of the size of the tumour?
