Following an endoscopy where I was advised I had a cancer of oesophagus, a programme of care was outlined.
Following four sessions of chemotherapy at West General in Edinburgh I underwent surgery at Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.
Following a period in intensive care and in ward care I returned home some two weeks later.
After six weeks I then underwent a further three sessions of chemotherapy again at Western General in Edinburgh.
During this period all the care I received was of an exceptional standard.
The upper GI team based at Kirkcaldy, especially Kerris.
The oncologist, Dr Christie.
The Chemotherapy team at Western General
The surgical team at Royal Infirmary under surgeon Mr Skipworth
The ICU team at Royal infirmary
Dietary advice from Kerrie at Dunfermline
All assisted in my care and recovery superbly.
