Hey Mokie,

Thank you very much. Your message and kind words have given me a well needed boost.
On Friday I had a RIG (Radiologically Inserted Gastrostomy) fitted. I was originally told I would have a PEG buut due to the position of my tumour, they felt they might dislodge some cancer cells into my body.

I'm resting at home, although my sister took me out for some gelato and well deserved sister time.

I'm feeling really calm about the surgery now, I just want to get rid of the tumour. It's uncomfortable, eating is a nightmare, I'm getting grumpy over small things and I'm tired of this thing taking control of my life.

Having the RIG fitted has meant that I've met some of the nursing team who will b looking after my care, as they put me on the ward I will be on after I come out of critical care. Everyone is lovely and I feel really safe with them.

As soon as I can I'll let you know that I'm OK.

Massive hugs to you
