Hi everyone. My husband has just started his journey and has today gone for his Laparoscopy. He,s had an endoscopy, CT scan, PET scan, lung and heart function tests. His tumour is just above the junction to his stomach. He was told that he would have four rounds of chemo before a 6-7 hour surgery then another four rounds of chemo after. Thats the plan anyhow. They are doing another endoscopy today and also fitting a feeding tube into his bowel today which he was hoping they wouldnt have to as yet. He has been managing very soft foods but his eating has gone downhill this week so I am glad they are fitting a tube. I read all the comments etc on here and feel for everyone who is somewhere along this journey. So many positive outcomes too which is encouraging. Keep positive everyone….this site is so helpful….
