Hi Rayb

just been through this had FLOT april and may operation in june  its a long journey but stick witk it.

It may all sound a bit frightening at first i would recommend you read up on your treatment the FLOT is bearable and the operation is not really a worry although it is a major operation i will say that at no point in my journey have i really suffered any major pain and i am 90  percent recovered as of today if i can offer you any help or advice please contact me as it is always good to hear from someone who has been through this procedure recently , our NHS will take care of you by far the best care you can get ,trust me.

This is soooo encouraging to hear - NHS fantastic - every confidence. How are you doing now dooggreg?

Hi Andi

nice to hear from you , i am just over a year ahead of where you are now and have continually posted throughout the FLOT , the surgery  and recovery phases in an effort to offer some sort of reassurance to others and a bit of non clinical guidance , although i am 95% recovered i reckon on it taking 2 years to reach an acceptable level of normality , so be patient you are not in a race , this time next year you will be writing this advice to someone in the same position , believe it or not i have found the whole thing to be a very uplifting experience and hope it's the same for you and everyone else on here , got any  questions ? no matter how trivial just ask ,there is a wealth of non clinical knowledge amongst those who post on here , meanwhile  stay strong and take care of yourself

Regards

Douglas
