Hi
My very fit and otherwise healthy 49 year old husband was diagnosed on New Year’s Eve 2018 and following scans/tests staging was T3 N2 M0. Started 4 rounds of Flot in Feb followed by a CT scan prior to surgery. Results of the scan were no significant shrinkage of the tumour following chemo with no growth or spread but the surgeons were still prepared to operate. We were upset at this news especially how my husband had gone from some difficulty eating to no problems so we knew the chemo must have done something.
Had surgery on 7 May and is now at home recovering well and remarkably eating anything he wants just smaller portions and more often. Prior to discharge from hospital we received the results from the histology report following the surgery and the staging had been reduced to T1 N0 M0 which was fantastic news. 30 lymph nodes were removed.
I have been reading this group since diagnosis and thought I would post our story in case it helps others.
We are part way through this journey and more Flot likely to come but feeling more positive about the future.
