Follow up to Oesophagus cancer

"Follow up to Oesophagus cancer"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Day Surgery

(as the patient),

Attended day surgery at Wishaw with Mr Kasem and his team. Previous diagnosis of oesophagus cancer last August, chemo radiotherapy and subsequent operation in January all went to plan. An excellent team of surgeons, doctors and nurses have given me a new lease of life. Today’s visit went well with a dilation procedure under sedation. 

It’s so reassuring to have confidence in a truly professional and pleasant group of people seeing me through such a major challenge and change in my life. I know I will have to return for more treatment, however cannot thank everyone of them enough.
