I haven't posted for a while but thought I would share some news that I hope will give encouragement to those who, like my husband, cannot have the surgery (see my earlier blogs/posts). It's a year this month since diagnosis.
Radical radiochemo finished end this Feb & a subsequent CT was unable to define heavy radio scarring/inflammation from a tumour. Last Friday a camera-down-throat job (gastroscopy) was done (cos I fought for it!!!): this showed that while there is still evidence of a cancer it is, and I quote "minute." They said the treatments seem to have worked. Yes, of course, we'd have preferred to have been told it had gone but at least it seems controllable. We go back to see the oncologist Aug 4.
So those of you who are told surgery is not an option DON'T give up hope.
On a down note, hubby was admitted Sunday with a TIA (ministroke) and is feeling rotten. He's been soooooooo strong and determined throughout the cancer treatment but now very depressed. It never rains but bloody pours.....
