Hi everyone, my first post here.
My 60yo dad has a huge polyp in his stomach, a mass on his lung and another polyp in his bowel. Biopsies have been carried out. First stomach one suggested the polyps are pre-cancerous but they made him have another biopsy after pep scan. Awaiting results on that and the lung biopsy, and waiting to be referred for a bowel biopsy.
He seems well, his usual self, though has had diarrhoea for the past year (hence investigations) and fainting episodes.
My online research tells me this must be cancer. Who knows where it started, lungs, stomach or bowel, but it has spread. I just can't see any other scenario... or is there?
Thanks.
