My husband was having problems with his stomach which got progressively worse over the last 10months. He had lots of blood tests & scans which were all coming back clear. He also had endoscopy & colonoscopy in December which also came back clear. Since the turn of the year he was unable to eat anything without bloating & pain. He finally managed to speak to a consultant who got him in to the hospital. He was then admitted & had explorative keyhole surgery. We were then told they found tumours around his organs although small there are a few of them. A biopsy has been done & we got a phone call yesterday to tell us we have an appointment at the cancer centre on Wednesday.
I feel like we’ve just been hit with a truck. With all test results coming back normal we didn’t think things would be this bad. Tomorrow we aren’t expecting great news. I’ve been feeling sick since the phone call. I feel upset but I haven’t cried. Neither of us slept much last night & probably won’t tonight. We haven’t told anyone else about the appointment as we want to have time to process the information first ourselves. I know my parents will worry about me & due to COVID I can’t see them.
my main worry at the moment is that I’m not going to cope with the news tomorrow and then dealing with telling family. We have 2 young kids too. It’s one thing suspecting bad news but another thing getting it. I feel totally lost at the moment.
