My wife underwent a full gastrectomy on 20/6/2025. We just want to give others hope. The tumour was benign thank goodness and so no chemotherapy required.
Over the last few months there has been huge changes to life style, mainly to cooking and maintaining protein and carbohydrate requirements. Energy is being increased with activity and in due course we look forward to planning a trip abroad. It is a world away from normality but there is a lot of hope for a normal as possible future. The very best to all those in similar situations.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
