Appointment in Sky Ward with Chloe's consultant who explains that the results of Chloe's last CT scan shows Chloe needs to have two operations one to remove part of her diaphragm which one tumour is growing through, which could affect her breathing and a second operation to remove the tumours in her abdomen with the possibility of a colostomy bag.Consultant tells us that operations are major surgery and expresses her doubts about whether they should be carried out as the chances of full success are very slim and could leave Chloe on Oxygen to breathe.
