I have sent the following :
A l'attention urgente du Directeur : COURNAU Stanislas
Cher Monsieur, À la lumière de ma situation actuelle, je crains vraiment qu'à mon avis, la clinique soit trop prudente en suggérant que je retourne pour enquêter sur ce que les pouvoirs en place semblent être concernés par ma récente perte de poids et semblent être suggérant qu'il est nécessaire ou moi de me nourrir par d'autres méthodes
Mon IMC actuel est de 20.4, ce qui indique qu'il se situe dans la catégorie Normal pour les adultes de ma taille.
Ce n'est que depuis vendredi dernier que j'ai essayé de manger des aliments solides plus appropriés. Bien que je ne le fasse que depuis quelques jours, je me sens beaucoup plus fort et moins fatigué et plus positif.
Je vous demande instamment d'intervenir dans la demande actuelle de l'équipe médicale de la clinique de Marzet, c'est-à-dire d'évaluer ma situation à distance, de rester avec la situation/dispositions actuelles pendant encore une semaine ou deux, puis de réévaluer ma situation après avoir pu manger des aliments faits maison plus sains et nourrissants et faire de l'exercice, car je pense que c'est une option préférable à l'hospitalisation.
Si mon IMC baisse à des niveaux inférieurs à la normale au cours de cette période, je serais beaucoup plus d'accord pour être admis à Mazert
Sincèrement
Am I out or order, or, are my concerns justifiable?

They will not/cannot force you to go into hospital. And in my experience It's unlikely they will debate the issue. They have given their opinion, now It's up to you to decide if you need help. I suggest you seek advice from your MT.

Unfortunately, it is late in the day, The clinic indicated that they wanted me to go in on Monday. I think that my gp considers himself well below ( and probably is ?) below the power of Doctors at a Private Clinic, even though, it appears that his level of competence and concern for his patients seems to be far superior to many of them.
Of course, my greatest fear is that my perceptions may be wrong, it would not be the first time, but, as I have been keeping a fairly tight record of events, memos, prescriptions etc since last November I am as certain as I can be that there has been much over-prescription and other negative unprofessional events that I shall do by best to warn others of should the powers that be at the clinic not give me the benefit of the doubt.

It's not whether your MT is equal to the doctors at the clinic. More what his professional opinion is. We always valued our MT above all others but then he was special. If you really don't want to be fed by tube or have a gastrostoma fitted, then don't. You can always change your mind. Have you lost a great deal of weight?

This time last year I think my weight ranged up to 78kg Before I went into surgery last Nov. I was abt 75 kg At 10.30 this I was up slightly on yesterday with a weight this am of 62.1 I have just had lunch of cottage pie and my present weight is 62.5 kg.
My MT of abt 14 years is very special as well. That is why I did not change him when we moved about 16 km away from our last house last year. Although it could be more of a p i a to see him, I think that it is preferable to finding a closer new unknown MT who could be much more convenient to see but would not be as cognisant of my or my wife’s medical history and might not be as good a Doctor or so caring

Very similar to my husband. During his 1st cancer of the throat he started off at 78 kgs and went down to 59kgs. This time, with cancer of the oesophagus it's much more difficult because he can't swallow. He started off at 78kgs and is now around 69 kgs. I suspect that will worsen. He refused feeding by stoma or tube. Try eating hearty soups that are liquidised to make it easier for your body to absorb. Good luck.

Thanks for the good luck wishes and tip on liquidising food, I thought that perhaps that was a possibility with the cottage pie that had for lunch. As it goes own my throat is still very sensitive. I imagine that the discomfort that I feel originates from the ‘sicatrice’, which I think is French for scar tissue. Thankfully, it can be largely negated by taking a low dose of paracetamol about half an hour before attempting to eat anything from that causes discomfort. Whatever, all solid food that I have in the near future will be well blended. I am loath to take high doses of paracetamol for fear that I may damage myself by attempting to eat something that is a bridge too far..
Re Seeking advice from my MT. I’ll get my oh will use that tack when she calls the clinic tomorrow and can tell them that I think it is early days to undergo more severe treatment presently. (It is not just a tack, I’ll make an appointment to see him and get his views on the subject.)
Edit. Perhaps it won’t be as I imagined earlier. With her inborn wanting to do the ‘correct thing’ and slavish respect for authority when I told oh of my wishes she went into argumentation mode saying that I could not see my Dr. because he was on holiday. In the light that I appear to be gaining weight I will try and stick with my guns. Lucky that I haven’t got one maybe.

Your poor dear wife. She doesn't seem to be able to do anything right in your eyes. Remember, she is suffering as well. Not in the same way, but nevertheless she will be suffering.
