Hi 

my Mum has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, it’s inoperable but has been offers radiotherapy in a palliative form x 10

im coping really badly

I’m sure I’m not the only

one not coping well 

  • Hi Hcp

    So sorry to hear about your mum's diagnosis. It is a terrible shock when you or a loved one are diagnosed with cancer out of the blue. I do hope that the radiotherapy can help. Unfortunately you can only take it one day at a time I'm sure that your mum will be very appreciative of the support that you give her during this very difficult time.

    Sending you hugs

    I am so sorry to hear your bad news. It's not an easy thing to cope with for anybody, especially as there is no cure being offered to give you hope.

    There is a separate group for Oesophageal cancer and there is another you might find helpful. You can talk to others in the same position
