Yesterday........We had a telephone call asking Peter to be at The Marsden this morning.
Today ,,,,,,,,,, Peter had an endoscopy to look for any sign of gastric bleeding, we were shocked when it wasn't possible to get into his stomach as his oesophagus is blocked above the stent. we had felt we were heading for a blip but didn't reckon on this any way it seems the stent may have slipped and the original tumour is over growing the end or it maybe a new tumour, swelling or scaring etc
We were not prepared for this as he has no difficulty swallowing. The plan is Contrast scan, then endoscope to open up the oesophagus, however that is decided, maybe stretch, laser, new stent etc and have a good look round for any bleeding.
We will have a discussion with his team on Monday 16th Sept to decide best option and make the necessary appointments.
Tomorrow........... we are going to see Rush I'm not sure its my kind of film but its Peter's birthday present from our youngest daughter.and he is really looking forward to it. and it will take his mind off the imminent gullet tunneling,
