Oesophageal cancer: Experiences of patients and their partners.
Oesophageal cancer (OC) is a debilitating disease with significant social, psychological and physical impacts on health and lifestyle (Mills and Sullivan, 2000). The research presented in this paper uses a survey method, and reveals that patients require honest communication and more help with everyday living from nurses to facilitate recovery. Each patient is unique but commonalities can be established that improve experience and outcome. Three themes emerged from the data: food, activity and positivity. To meet long-term needs, the Oesophageal Patients Association is fundamental for patients and carers in order adapt to this major life-changing event.
