    Not great news . Tumor too big so too risky to remove because of the connected blood vessels . Plan is to have a biopsy in the next week or two at Addenbrooks and see what kind of cancer it is then Chemo to try to shrink it  . 👊🏻

    Sorry to hear that Beds... Am sure its going to be difficult, and is easy for me to say, but try to stay positive.

    My Father in Law has a form of cancer, that I think could have been easily treated - He only heard the words cancer though, and basically allowed it to defeat him from day one. He's still around (has had it for a few years), but think his life would have been so much better even now, had he taken a better approach to it.

    Stumbled across this just now.

    Beds, I’m so sorry to read this news and my thoughts are with you and your family.

    Each and every one of us are part of the Charlton family and this kind of news is horrible. I really wish you the very best and the chemo does the trick.

    We’re with you all the way and you got this.

    Addenbrooks, one of the best in Britain .. Chemo before possible surgery is, as you say, the modern approach to treatment .. briefly, back in 2011,  I had colon cancer and was asked to take part in a trial to see if chemo pre surgery was more effective than the then usual chemo after surgery ..  it turned out that my tumour luckily was too small and 'immature' to take part in the trial and I had chemo for a short while after surgery..
    I kept in touch with the trial however ..  pre surgery chemo is a lot more effective in most large tumour situations than post surgery chemo .. you are in good hands and the stats are in your favour .. we are all with you Beds .. chemo won't be easy but stick with it
