Fetch the Oompa scope

After a lovely day out yesterday with my dear friend Sue enjoying spring sunshine and reminiscing in a proper country pub, today was 'endoscopy day' –  with just the throat spray. So when even the nurses take a sharp breath and say "ohh you're brave" you do begin to worry about it but honestly it ain't too bad (apart for the poor nursing team suffering my gagging noises).

Another faultless experience at The London Hospital and as expected the tumor is bigger, certainly by sight – almost completely closed over in the middle so no wonder it's a bit tough to eat. Also when the Dr says "do we have a pediatric scope" you know the gap is limited or I really am an Oompa as some people believe! Still we'll see better on the CT scan in a week or two and hopefully the Anti-PD1 may also help reduce it.

There's also still the question of DC activity enlarging the mass. They showed me the camera images and it was surprisingly 'clean', like swollen skin compared to the 'fungating mass' so delicately described by the first scope way back in July 2013. Not sure if it means anything and endoscopy doc didn't seem to consider it particularly relevant so I will live in ignorant happiness for now, like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do.
