A good friend of mine has just been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus. I want to tell him that with treatment everything will be ok but can anyone tell me how serious this disease is and can it be treated? Thanks.S.O.G

Big C update. Thank you all for your replies. Just yesterday my pal was told that an operation was not possible because,1,he is too old (75),2,he is not fit enough to endure an eight hour long operation.He has been told that the cancer can be controlled with tablets (drugs?) but for how long no one can say. I just felt that I should let you all know of the latest update as you as all of you have been very helpfull. All the very best to you all.S.O.G
