Hi, my husband had the Ivor Lewis procedure in Palmerston North end of January 2019. November and December 2018 he had chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the same time in Palmerston. He is in the early stage of recovery and has said on more than one occasion he would like to meet and speak with someone who has also had this journey. Is there a group in NZ that meet? Our local hospital refer to his specialist in Palmerston, we are not aware of anyone locally who has had this treatment. It would be great to have him connect with others. Thanks in anticipation
