Dear Sarah it is a wonderful story, me being eighty next year I feel an affinity with her,I had a second opinion after both my consultant and surgeon behaved like clowns.I was sent to a liver transplant surgeon he had my scans on his wall,"the clowns refused to show me them)my liver had several growths both kidneys had growths, and a growth in my stomach(I suppose the clowns thought I might have a heart attack if I had seen them?)any way I had a PET scan that showed only the stomach growth was active,the surgeon was very information he was going remove my stomach with its resident cancer and go into liver to check that,I might not survive the operation,but it was my only option,I could not have drugs,they were reserved for patients who could not have surgery.I decided at seventy three I would rather face cancer with a stomach.I am very well,but I feel so sorry for people who die of cancer,or is it the treatment that killed them?I will not go in to what my clowns got up to it was unbelievable.well just one or two.The consultant always told me my cancer was in my duodenum and persisted to do so for over a year(they decided I was in operable until I did not die) until I question him exactly where?he moved that cancer all the way up first part of my small intestine,and it was'nt there,so I said "it must be in the stomach then?""Yes"he said.It turned out he thought patients were too stupid to understand!The surgeon was going to remove my cancer by keyhole surgery?my curiosty saved my stomach,I just managed to stop the epidural injection in time. The surgeon was about to remove my stomach without my consent!I could have died a rich man.laughter is the best medicine.isn't it?
