Hi everyone I was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in February 21 after the removal of my gallbladder in December 2020 , it was a shock at 1st! I didn't know what was going on? had scan and was about to have the dreaded camera up and down if you know what I mean? When I asked a nurse what is this all about? She went and got the consultant and sat me down and told me I'd got cancer? I had to have the camera, then it was time to tell my wife who was sitting in the the hospital carpark we both sat in shock and a few tears, then had to wait for results and to see consultants , the 1st told us there's nothing that could be done as where the tumors were ? But luckily the 2nd one we got to see a few days later told us that royal London had a team that would look at my case, in march I was having my small bowl removed in London, it had masterised to the liver which can't be operated on so on injections every 4 weeks, now I'm starting radiotherapy in July over 16 weeks in Essex, the net team are very excited as I'm the 1st patient to have treatment at this hospital.
