What I was told: I have a very early form of Intramucosal Adenocarcinoma or Oesophageal Cancer. A monstrous heaviness overwhelmed me when i heard that particular word.
What they found: Cancer cells were found in only 1 of the 10 biopsies taken.
At this early stage the consultant seemed confident that the cancer could be dealt with by surgery alone. He added that it was a minor miracle that it had been found at all.
I was introduced to a “nurse specialist” (Jo), who would be my contact with the hospital and would coordinate my ongoing tests/treatment.
Further “staging” tests were then booked to identify tumor’s development.
I now have a new label over me. Pete, husband, dad, son, brother, 3d animator... cancer.
Its so weird.
