Hi everyone
Thanks for being there! Had my meeting last Thursday and it didn’t go as planned. Turns out the constipation and terrible pain was not that at all. I gave a blockage below my tumour. Very grateful to report that I had a stent fitted on Friday which will see me through to my surgery on 7 November. If the stent hadn’t worked I would’ve had emergency surgery instead last Friday! As lots of you have said before to others; listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel quite right get it checked ASAP. My surgeon said my structure would not have lasted until my planned surgery date.
