We're all behind you, Steve. If there's any justice left in the world that Semi final day will be a double for you! of course you just won't know it was, until your results
I am sorry to hear about the step backwards regarding appetite.
Are you feeling any benefit from the pills?

I still have a good appetite. The problem is that I struggle to keep much down as the main cancer is in my oesophagus & stomach.
The pills are killing me but hopefully they are killing the cancer as well.

Well, I certainly hope it's the latter of the two.

After my last scan, they gave me six months, which takes me to September.

My latest scan results show that the tumour has grown slightly both in length & density.
This in itself isn't normally too bad (although I was hoping for a reduction) except that the location of the tumour is now causing me more eating problems meaning I cannot get much food into my system. They have offered me ten radiotherapy sessions over two weeks to try to reduce the density of the tumour. This isn't a cure but to improve my quality of life by allowing me to eat. As a temporary measure, they hope to put a tube into my stomach so I can get food in that way to keep me going.
Inevitably I am losing weight & feeling weak. There is a small chance (less than 1%) that the radiotherapy will kill me as they have to fire it through my lungs to hit the tumour so if I stop posting, you can probably guess what happened.
I had my first visit to the hospice this week. I suppose that is the way it is going. Yesterday was the worst day with lots of pain. Hopefully there are still a few more bright days ahead.
WAWAW!
