  • Hi  

    I am not familiar with that surgeon but will look it up .

    The NHS does work on a cost effective bases and my friend was able to access more privately so I do feel your pain .

    Bowel cancer U.K. has a stage 4 section you could ask what others are doing in this situation ?

    Is there any clinical trials available?
