I was told my op was first on the list at 8.30am. I was all up and ready, signed the papers ,spoke to the Registrar etc. Suddenly the surgeon appears and tells me that he cannot proceed as a CT done on 15th December shows spread to my spine.
I am lost for words as an earlier bone scan showed me to be clear. Why should it take until 10 minutes before the opp to break the news.?? The whole thing stinks.
They have given me some whitewash about shrinking it with chemo. I am now wondering if I can do better abroad?
