Special interest - Small bowel
In May 1989, I was admitted to hospital which resulted in surgery to remove a gangrenous section of the small bowel due to a lymphoma cutting the blood supply to the bowel. At the time, I was given a 40% survival chance. After surgery, I had chemotherapy and radiation treatment. I have been given the all clear by doctors but still require medicine for bowel regularity.
As a brother died recently of pancreatic cancer, I am interested in care and early diagnosis and prevention of cancer.
