Follow up not gone to plan

Less than one minute read time.
Went back to see the surgeon today, as planned. But unfortunately things didn't go to plan. It wasn't the surgeon who was sat there when we walked in, it was Dr Sykes who has been treating Ian all along. Even though the surgeon said 4 weeks ago that there was no trace of cancer unfortunately the CT scan showed that there is, and it is now inoperable. He told us there is nothing more they could do except perhaps some palliative chemo if he wanted it. Still in the shock stage at the moment. Even though Ian has looked so bad for so long, I had started to believe the surgeons when they said there was no cancer. Silly me.
