I finished my treatment of radiotherapy and chemo tablets . I've been told tumour has shrunk . I have to have another MRI and thought she said an endoscopy but nit sure as thus is down the throat will just have to wait. I'm glad it shrunk but still worried about the next steps.
Is anyone else at this stage or had this done.
I had a colonoscopy after positive FIT , then CT ,then MRI just when I was hoping for the op they wanted an Endoscopy to measure exactly where my tumour was as mine was large. It was an imaging Endoscopy and ultra sound.The doctor showed me exactly how far it was through my abdomen the measurements were amazing I could see exactly what it looked like Made me even more determined to get it in the bin
it was very impressive equipment to check which was the best op for the job. It’s similar to Colonoscopy.
I didn’t have sedation as I was told it would be okay however as my tumour was so big I found it uncomfortable but manageable.
I’ll be thinking of you

Ha ha. Me too.
They are only taking images and measurements to see the best op to get that thing in the bin. It’s definitely worth it. It’s not as uncomfortable as the colonoscopy as they don’t go up as far. Well they didn’t with me.
I had keyhole then open surgery and they did a fantastic job.
best wishes
