A year ago Peter and I were ushered into a small room with a sofa and a box of tissues. we looked at each other and knew.......before the endoscopist, who had just had a squint down Peter's gullet said
There is a large tumour in your oesophagus and it is cancer.
It is our cotton (1st) cancer anniversary tomorrow ........... today we have been ushered into a small room with a couch and a box of tissues....we looked at each other and knew.... before the consultant said...........
This is not so good it seems we have progression. Tumour markers are soaring. coupled with Peter's increasing symptoms
Plan is 2 units of blood on Monday , CT & PET Scan next week then look at options.
So what to do tomorrow on our anniversary
we intend to have a lie in, then breakfast of runny porridge while watching the birds in the garden,
read the papers, talk to friends and family on the phone
lunch chicken complan soup and icecream.
an afternoon siesta until the evening when we will raise a glass of fortisip before going to see Jethro at the Theatre Royale for a jolly good laugh......
And then Peter and I will step up to round 2 together.
