Hello

I thought I would give an update on where I am at 8mths post op.

So I was admitted at it got to the stage where I was not keeping even the shakes down and the weight was falling of me. They gave me fluid to rehydrate, a CT scan instead of the barium swallow.

The CT scan picked up a node on my adrenal gland or clear with the esophagus. I was booked in to sort the hernia/scar tissue with the robotic.

This was last Sunday and what a difference a week makes, I am eating again, mince and moist and have put 3lb on, feels great to eat.

The Adrenal node, I have a PET scan this Thursday as they have to check I have no other red lights Shrug tone2‍♀️if it is just the node on the adrenal gland this will be removed surgically and checked if it is cancerous.

So this is where I am, relived I am eating again and enjoying it feels like enormous amounts of food, enjoying peaceful sleep and holding on to hope.

Thanks for your responses

Best wishes Jennie ✨🌻

So glad to hear your eating well and feeling better in yourself. I will be praying for you that no other nodes are found and the one you have will be benign. Stay strong Jennie. Xx
