Dear Minnie

I am so happy that you have three negative biopsies. What relief for you and your family.

I would definitely want to have some evidence of malignancy before embarking on as debilitating a treatment as chemo. Couldn't the doc get a biopsy by doing a gastroscopy or something similar?

I guess another approach could be the 'wait and see for a month' scenario.
Risky, I know, but with your very stressful period over and a restful quality of life, you may improve. If it were me I wouldn't rush into chemo.

I often have difficulty swallowing and still am very prone to a sore throat. Because of my very dry mouth I guess.

Lots of love to you Minnie.
