Decision day

I told Nurse Jo, i'd let her know after the 2nd Friday MDT meeting what i had decided. The outcome of the meeting, (where all my test results were available) was much the same as the week before.
Indecision as to whether to recommend chemotherapy.
They did however suggest doing a repeat Ultrasound endoscopy on the 29th April... Good news (of a kind).

My decision: I requested preparing for Chemotherapy (Stage 2 treatment) until the results of the Endoscopy were known.

To my mind there are 4 outcomes.
1. Tumor is definitely Stage1 – therefore only surgery needed.
2. Tumor is definitely Stage2 – therefore both chemo and surgery needed
3. Tumor results still unconclusive – therefore proceed with chemotherapy.
4. Tumor gone – therefore no chemo or surgery needed and a lot of thanking God to do.
This would be new territory for some, but i'm very comfortable with this.
