My dad was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in July. He’s been undergoing tests before starting treatment (which will be chemo then surgery) with a positive outcome expected. Today he had a laparoscopy which we understood was to check his stomach but he was told after the procedure that a sample of his liver had been taken too. Wondering if this is standard procedure as it hadn’t been mentioned at any of his appointments and we are a bit worried - dad didn’t ask why it had been done…..
