Update 13th November 2007

Well the visit to the Chemo Therapy oncologist went well!

The blood tests once again show no cancer markers (not that this is a definitive sign).

To cut a long story short - we are no further advanced than the last time. He indicated that if this was a recurrence it was most unusual in that in his experience most people with oesophageal cancer who have a recurrence then head downhill fast and so a six month period with little change is "unusual".

We have another appointment in six months time.

Meanwhile I guess it's life as usual! SIGH!

Cancer Study in the news

News Item on the BBC for those who still have NOT managed to get cancer:

Be thin to cut cancer, study says

I guess for those of us who already have a cancer the advice comes too late.

Nevertheless the site also has a large (11.9 Mb) sized file that can be downloaded by readers who want to see the "Food, activity and prevention of cancer report"

Worth a read if you are interested in trying to ensure that you do NOT end up with this dreaded illness.
