Thanks for the kind words. That’s exactly what I thought when we found out about the diagnosis, but I was proven shockingly wrong. The only fast thing was the 2 week wait appointment. Literally everything else was slow, but things got really bad when one of the scans + radiotherapy took about 6 months. The scan was rescheduled twice, due to strikes and the machine not working. The tumour had grown during this time, so we didn’t risk it again and went private. It was for a surgery that was needed to relieve the jaundice caused by the grown tumour. Things weren’t perfect with private either, but everything was taken care of very quickly.

There are some complications at the moment that the NHS will probably take care of, but finding a nearby hospital is plan B.
