just seen my surgeon, endoscopy showed no cancer growth, next appointment early jan with oncologist, early days but promising results. Also had Audiologist appt no hearing impairment, which can happen with cisplatin therapy, then to top off a great day, Dietitian says my PEG can be removed whenever I can arrange an appointment. Great early Christmas presents.
Its a long hard road but just maybe I’m seeing some light at the end of the tunnel

Hi Davya, what wonderful news, hey each and every milestone is precious to us. My Da was from just south of Dublin a small town in Ballyconnell and Ma was from Co Wexford. Just lost them both at 94 and NO cancer. I guess my number was just ramdomly picked out of a hat LOL. I will keep you in my healing prayers Miss Davya! Shalom, Lily
