I was all set for my oesphagectomy last week. My scans were all clear 3 of them. So when the surgeon opened me up he found tiny microscopical cancer cells so could not proceed. Very disheartened now I have to get more chemo. Has anyone else experienced thos thankyou
Hi when they opened me up found microscopical cells in my stomach. I was very disappointed nkq I have to wait for a plan for more chemo see what happens then.
That's a bit strange as they would normally be removing at least a third of your stomach anyway I think
Really sorry to read this Lollypops,
I hope that they get that new treatment started as soon as possible.
Wishing you every success

Hopefully I'm just waiting now for my encologist to give me a plan for chemo. I'm actually scared going down to see her and what she might say !
Hi Lollypops,
I’m not surprised that you’re scared. I would be too. The not knowing what is going to happen next is always scary. Always better when you at least have a plan of action. Do you have a date yet for your oncology meeting? Please make sure that you bring someone along to it. Best wishes, CB
Hi hopefully next week I should get a phone call to go amlnd meet the encologist and get a plan. Thankyou
