Hello everyone
i thought I would update my posts from September regarding my husband Trevor who has Grade 3 oesophageal and stomach cancer.
he underwent four courses of FLOT chemo which had many downs and sadly not a lot of ups, however he managed this and had a CT scan afterwards which showed nearly a 30% decrease in the size of tumour. Woo hoo. For the last 7 weeks we have had a wonderful time living in the fast lane, enjoying life, holiday in Isle of Wight, visits to theatres, meals out (as he can now eat more than soups), and having the time of our lives, because on 18th he is undergoing surgery to remove most of his oesophagus and a very high percentage of his stomach will become his oesophagus and life will then become difficult again. He has still not regained all his weight, has taste issues and pins/needles in hands but these are deteriorating as the days go by. I wanted people to know that there is life after Flot chemo and it is worth going through. Will update my post after he has had his surgery which in truthfulness he isn't and neither am I looking forward to and we put our hopes in the hands of the surgeons etc etc. Look forward to hearing from other people who are going through the same journey as us.
