Great news!!! I received a letter today informing me that I have a PET scan scheduled in Taunton for July 17th at 15.30. How fast is that!! We are really excited that they are moving so quickly. Thank you NHS. Apparently we get the results within a few days. They’ll need to do other the tests too before we meet the surgeon who’ll tell us what’s next.

My brother David is now home from his honeymoon. It wasn’t easy news to come home to, but he’s performed many of these oesophageal surgeries himself and is a great resource for information and advice. He has patients 20 years on from this surgery still sending him Xmas cards.

The team at Exeter are wonderful, pushing things through and communicating everything. I’ve been really impressed by how organised they are. With Captain Neil at the helm, I’m feeling very looked after.

And our lovely neighbour Rosie has delivered a load of sign posts for our wedding. Its a massive favour. Thank you.

And…..Neil has sorted out his wedding suits. Yippee!! We are feeling very organised indeed!!
