Hi I thought I would let all the nice people who answered my post about my husbands diagnoses. . We saw the consultant today at the Beatson and she explained the treatment he's to have . He's to have a picc line fitted , then he could stay in the hospital for 5 days chemo or 1day and get a pump fitted for the next 4 days chemo at home . He has to have 6 cycles , after 3 they will give him a scan to see if it's shrinking the tumour if it is they will do the other 3 and then another laparoscopy and depending how that goes they will offer him the operation . Has anyone else been through this treatment and could let me know how it went ? Thanks for reading my post , as you will all understand it's a worrying time . Jane x

Update
Hi I had different chemo of ECX 1 Day infusion and tablets for 21 x3 cycles then a scan before operation. I hope all goes well as soon as treatment starts you get swept along with it. I kept a diary and recorded how I felt each day ,so knew what to expect each Cycle. Also had 3 cycles after op.
Best wishes
