Hi, it's been some time since I ha written on here. Last December I was diagnosed with a inoperable duodenal adenocarcinoma. I was given 8 - 10 months to live without treatment 12 - 18 with chemo with possibility of surgery if the Cancer is reduced. I went on for 6 months of chemo.
Well after a CT scan that gave promising results, the metastasis had gone and the tumour site had reduced so much it was now deemed operable.
They operated on me on the 24th June. They removed my duodenum, the cancer site, that was previously disconnected and a rue-en-y bypass performed in December. Re connected my intestine and sent my Duodenum off for biopsy.
My consultant reported that the biopsy came back showing that no cancer was present in the duodenum. So the chemo had been successful.
The operation has knocked me for six a bit but I am at least now home recuperating.
I hope that this gives fellow cancer sufferers some hope!
