The waiting game

Hello I'm new to this.

My parent has been told they have an aggressive tumour in theyre Esophogeous/small stomach, that has ulcerated. Next is a CT scan to advise of further spread and to see what capacity. Awaiting biopsy result also. It's then going to MDT.

I can't help worrying and feeling the worse possible outcome. Has anyone else been through it?

can anyone give any advice - I rarely need to chat with someone

  • Hello Kittiesplace and welcome to the forum. 
    I'm sorry to hear that your parent has recently been diagnosed with cancer. It's understandably a worrying time for you especially as at the moment you don't have a full diagnosis. Hopefully once the CT scan is complete and the MDT has taken place the Consultant will be able to give you all more information and discuss what treatment may be appropriate. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Best wishes,
