Thank you x

Hi 

I don’t know if this is the case for everyone but my husband only received his Cancer stage after he had a laparoscopy and we met his surgeon to discuss the results .The laparoscopy took place after the Pet scan and endoscopies 

Hoping all goes well for your Dad

My initial reply seems to have disappeared unless it’s my system

Yes that would be usual if a laparoscopy is used …. my husband didn’t have one they didn’t feel it was necessary.

If I remember correctly in my husband’s case it was the only option as four endoscopies were  unsuccessful in reaching the centre of the tumour and we were told biopsies were being taken from the wrong place ! Long story which resulting in me having him transferred to another hospital where he was fitted with a JEJ feeding line into his duodenum during the laparoscopy as he couldn’t eat or drink at this stage ..and after five long months we finally received his definitive diagnosis.

This is over two years ago and thankfully alls looking good up to now .
