My updates

gastro oesophageal junction GOJ cancer

Wednesday 8th Jan
I was diagnosed in June 2023 with a tumour where the oesophagus meets the stomach. I had four cycles of FLOT chemo which certainly takes a devastating effect on the body. In November 2023 I had an eleven hour op to remove some of my oesophagus and stomach and my stomach is now in my chest. I spent several days in the Critical Care Unit at Chelsea,  two days of which I was sedated for as my lung that they collapsed wouldn't work properly. In early 2024 I completed another four cycles of FLOT chemo. I'm still not fully recovered and have permanent nerve damage and pain in my hands and feet as well as continued problems with eating, digestion and internal surgery pain.
There are others close to us, friends and family, even our neighbours (I know of two in our road) that have suffered with this awful disease. The Royal Marsden Hospitals have been absolutely brilliant and need all the help they they can get so please donate a little something if you are able to. Many thanks.
