So yesterday I had my consultation with Mr. Steward, the Gastrointestinal Consultant surgeon who has managing my case from the start. He confirmed that the next step is my being referred to Dr. Andrew Conn, who is a Consultant Oncologist here in Bradford. And that the next step of my treatment of this phase of my cancer is ‘systemic chemotherapy’. He even picked up the phone and spoke directly to Dr. Conn during the consultation and this probably had something to do with me receiving a phone call within a couple of hours from Dr. Conn’s secretary at the Yorkshire Clinic to confirm my initial consultation with him on Monday evening coming.
It was also nice to get a follow up call from my Case Manager at the health cover company for initially an update and then to provide me with a new Authorisation code for the chemotherapy. So cover continues thank Heaven!
