  • Hi I had Goblet carcinoid March 4years ago, I received Hypec Chemo ask your doctor about it, or google it to have a look,I became cancer free in the Sept,the same year,It’s crazy that this cancer is so rare and not a lot of hospitals understand or know a lot about it, however for me I was treated at a hospital in Manchester England, I had a 12 hour surgery they took a lot of my bowel i also had an hysterectomy and my overies remove, and my tummy button along with a few other bits of me. After surgery I began the recovery I thought with the Hypec chemo I would lose my hair but I didn’t, my immune system I didn’t to be honest I only had a sore mouth, but I did feel like I’d been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, to be expected after 12 hours in surgery, my recovery was great I was so positive always smiling though I felt rubbish I pushed myself everyday, I was so thankful I was alive, The word cancer is enough to scare anyone, so I gathered my family and said if I smile you smile please don’t shed a tear foe cancer, so we had a plan to help each other with smiles, easier said than done you may be thinking, it was the best thing we all did and it helped us all through the worst most fearful time ever in my life. So if you are reading this don’t shed those tears keep smiling

  • Hi Wendy,

    It sounds like my wife has a very similar condition to what you descibed. She has just had an almost repica surgery. I am keen to find her the best specialist casr for chemo and ongoing oversight. Would you recommend the hospital you had your treatment? Most grateful for any help at all.

    Fantastic to hear you story and very uplifting and encouraging.

    Thanks in advance.
