Thank you for all your kind comments – and you are so right about everything moving very quickly, the last 5 or 6 weeks are nothing but a blur to me.
just to update everyone, unfortunately the outlook was pretty bleak with chemo (5 months without, 11 months with) and they decided that given the circumstances, Anne’s age and fitness they would go ahead and try the resection – she had an operation on Monday gone but once Anne had been opened up the surgeon found more sites and decided that the operation would no longer be of any benefit to Anne and did not proceed with the resection.
She had a metal stent fitted yesterday so at least she has got rid of her drain – that went well and hopefully she will be out by the beginning of next week and Anne will decide the best way forward and decide how she wants to proceed.
I have done a lot of research about foods etc that are supposed to be beneficial and would gladly pass this on if anybody is interested – although I do not believe there is any “magic cure” I think from now on we need to concentrate on eating the correct diet and choosing foods that may be beneficial to her situation.
