Hi all,
Just thought I’d do an update as I’ve kindly received a few enquiring emails from people.
I had my annual scans done in September and whilst they showed I was still NED, they showed a ‘thickening’ on my oesophagus that needed investigating. So I’ve been quietly worrying it was cancer spread as thats where our minds take us don’t they.
So yesterday I had an endoscopy. I was quite anxious about having this procedure, I mean no-one wants a camera shoved down their throat! but, it was actually very easy. I opted for sedation and whilst I was awake throughout, I didn’t feel a thing and can’t really remember anything other than making some very loud belching noises.
The endoscopy showed I have a small, sliding hiatus hernia. Most likely completely unrelated to the cancer, just one of those things that can happen to anyone, with age. I also had a biopsy as there’s some inflammation, I get those results in 2 weeks. My consultant isn’t concerned its cancer but I won’t completely relax until I get the definite all clear.
So all in all, feeling much better and writing this experience off as a little 'bump in the road'

Hi Sarah,
Great news. I have a hiatus hernia myself, they are all the rage these days. 
Glad you have your peace of mind back.
