Hi,
My husband has been diagnosed with Stomach NET and enlarged lymph node on head of pancreas.
He has been told to stop taking omoprzole for 2 weeks for a endoscopic ultrasound with biopsy of lymph node on pancreas and stomach acid pH level test and another fasting blood test.
He has been off omoprzole for 5 days and can't keep anything down and I'm worried he won't be able to go through the test on the 26th of march.
Hi Movienerd and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but sorry to hear about your husband’s diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis in the family can be such a challenging and stressful time but getting support from others who are dealing with the ‘exact same' cancer type and support challenges will help a lot.
I have lived with and been treated for a totally different type of cancer but over 24 years, but when I had specific questions and concerns like these I always contacted the relevant clinic to talk things through and see what could be done to help.
The New to Community is like our reception desk where we look to direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is divided into dedicated Cancer Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our dedicated……
…… support groups. These groups are safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from family members who are navigating the same support journey.
As for the practical and emotional challenges of supporting your husband and indeed yourself you may benefit from joining and posting in our……
……. support group where you will connect with others navigating the exact same support challenges.
To connect with a group click on the “Bold Italic Links” I have created above then once the group page opens click on “Click to Join” when the black banner appears or “Join” under “Group Tools” (this all depends on the device you are using)
You can then put up your own post when you’re ready by clicking “+new” or “+” in the top right next to the group title. You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
It is an emotional time supporting family so you might find this Macmillan information your feelings when someone has cancer helpful as well as this link getting help with your emotions.
You may find it helpful to call the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.
We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow 3 working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and support all the family.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community ((hugs))
Thank you Mike the Highlander. 
Pleased to help. There are lots of support routes available for you and indeed your husband to get support while you both navigate this journey ((hugs))
