Just updating. Grank has an appointment next Monday for a portal vein wedge pressure test at QEHB to see whether he is suitable for either Plan A which is a resection, or Plan B which is TACE. He was given his grim diagnosis January 3rd, and it’s been a long wait, but he looks and feels well and we are hoping the test will result in a decision to go to surgery.

Thank you. We had absolutely no hope when out of the blue we were initially given the dreadful diagnosis on January 3rd, but now, just perhaps, we see a faint glimmer.
So hope all goes well with your appointment, thinking of you, all the best Anne x
Good luck with the test
Hope that it all goes really well and that glimmer gets brighter and brighter. Very best wishes. Alf
