Surgery

Well I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick. Despite having an endoscopy report in writing which says there was no cancer, that was on the inside of the esophagus. A previous CT scan  showed that there was some cancer on the other side of the wall but no check was made at this point to see if it had also disappeared. However I questioned this with Mr.Knight who said he had never heard of one dose of chemo getting rid of cancer so he was not prepared to do another CT scan. So I am told I still need surgery. It is scheduled for next Monday and it is an all-day affair with 2 surgeons involved.  So there we have it. I have no choice, I am booked into the system. Not looking forward to it. My eating right now is fine, no problems at all with volume or swallowing. Could be 6 months before I can eat a normal meal again assuming everything goes well. However the team of 4 surgeons at the hospital do this operation all the time so they have plenty of practise at it which should be the good news. The downside is that it's a all day affair but it at least is all keyhole so recovery time should be better. Further updates when I get out of hospital
