When I had my visit to see a consultant for my endoscopy and CT scan results, found out it was oesophageal cancer. It was mentioned it would possibly mean that I would have to undergo chemo or radiotherapy. If anybody has or is getting either of these, is it worth going through unpleasant side effects, only to be told it hadn't worked or prolonged the end for a few months ? I know I am thinking ahead too much but I can't help it.
