Hi my husband was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer April 2021 he has had chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy.10 weeks after completing radiotherapy a scan revealed that he had oesophageal cancer so we are now waiting for an appointment with the consultant that specialises in GI tract. Has anyone else had this happen to them, they have diagnosed scuamous carcinoma.

Look forward to hearing others experience with this.

  • Hi Feet, welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. That must of been such a shock for you to be told that your husband now has oesophageal cancer after already having radiotherapy for lung cancer.  That must of been such a blow for you both.

    I have seen that you have already joined the oesophageal group,  but there are also other support groups you can join

    Family and friends 

    Carers only

    are very supportive groups where you will find several people who are going through a similar situation to yourself.  You can also call the Macmillan support helpline for support 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm on 0808 808 00 00
