Hi
Mum saw the surgeon today an appointment she should have had last week to meet him. They have told her that they plan for her to finish this regime of chemo and have one more then they plan to operate on her in about 6/8 weeks time.
They explained that she will have two thirds of her esophagus removed and one third of her stomach removed and then that her stomach will be moved to meet the remaining part of her eosphagus. They said she will be in hospital for 10 to 14 days and then recovery will be between 3 to 6 months all being well.
I just cant believe this is true and how quickly it is all happening. Today she ate a tiny piece of toast, 3 spoonfuls of scrambled egg and baked beans and a cup of tea and 2 chocolate biscuits!!!!!
Just thought Id share my good news with you.

Hi there, gosh this sounds very drastic, but if it is going to rid your mum of the nasty disease that is cancer, then I suppose it will all be worth it in the end.
I wish your mum all the best for the forthcoming surgery and hope she has a speedy recovery.
