Upper GI Consultant

Saw the Upper GI consultant at Bedford South Wing today. He confirmed diagnosis and also stated that there was no evidence from the CT Scan of spread but that I would need a laparoscopy (camera in the tummy) to be sure.

Great news that it hasn't spread - this means I can have surgery which improves the chances of recovery greatly (25% survive with surgery).

Met with the Macmillan nurse this women is a hero! She send nearly an hour with us explaining everything. She acts as a central point of contact and info. I'll be treated by a team of folks made up between Bedford South Wing and the Addenbrookes Cambridge University Teaching Hospital.

Went to lead our church youth group tonight (XLR8). I told them what was happening and they prayed for me. Mu & Ken Chambers, David & Susie and the gang at WNL (Wootton New Life) are just being amazing, so lovely and kind.
