I've just got home after a night 'under observation'! I'm starting to get a phobia about anaesthetists who are so ultra cautious (afraid of being sued?)
Anyway, this is just a short, bald update, with more tomorrow when I've had a decent night's sleep. The laparoscopy went fine, no heart problems. But Mr Abbadi found 4 or 5 'shadows' or 'areas of concern' by the liver and on the lining of the abdomen. Samples have gone off for biopsy but I think it's clear that the cancer is spreading. If by some miracle none of them are cancerous, then the cardiologist will be in touch next week to organise a heart valve op. Pigs might fly.
So I have time to recover from the laparoscopy and then will see Mr A on Tuesday week to discuss the next step, probably chemo. Time to organise the wig, which could be fun.
