Hi,I posted earlier this year towards the beginning of my cancer journey and got some really helpful advice(thank you Geoferret). I thought it was about time to update what's happened.
Well,I've had a Jej fitted to help with weight gain,currently stable at 50kgs. I went through FLOT at Christie's Manchester which went well along with lots of scans,bloods ,consults etc. Then it was time for surgery at Salford.
The operation was started but abandoned due to where the tumour is behind my stomach,all the scans didn't pick up that it is involving the coeliac junction so it is too high risk to remove.
This now means I am terminal and on palliative chemotherapy. My oncologist Professor Mansoor at the Christie is magnificent and I cannot praise him enough. Luckily I have life insurance although I'm still working when I can and my boss is fantastic.
I've had to have a stent fitted,think the lump was moved in the non-op lol,but I'm still managing to eat.
I think what I'm trying to say is that life isn't over,I've got plans to go see my sister in Australia next year and I've got more people to irritate yet 
Hello UnicornD
i do hope you are still keeping well. Please let us know. I have recently been told by Salford Royal they cannot operate on the cancer in my stomach. They seemed to have big plans for me chemo and 
Operation - they wanted to do a quick keyhole investigation, before treatment starts then basically told me they can’t operate I am now waiting to see Professor Masoor at Christy and I am petrified he’s going to tell me I will be dead in 3 months. I feel like it has taken so long to get here after numerous scans - endoscopy- EUS now this? Any coping ideas needed I am desperate.
