Esophagus cancer

My mother in law was diagonsed with cancer in march this year, without delay we opted for surgery in march and after that she had 5 sessions of chemotherapy till july but now in October she had a sudden weight loss from 43kg to 36 kg and then we found out that she has reformation of esophagus cancer again and intestine cancer.The doctors have said that surgery and chemotherapy cant be done so only given medicine.i wanted to know how many days is she going to survive.

  • So sorry to hear your mother in laws cancer has come back, it must feel so devastating after thing it was on the up ... unfortunately no one here can give you how long she'll have as some go on longer then expected and some go quicker .. but you ask her oncologist for more information, and there's a help line on here and Mcmillan too where you can talk to a nurse and they are really helpful, I used them myself when I needed advice and support... 

    I'm thinking of you and sending you a big virtual hug ... Chrisie xx
