Hi all, new to the forum.
Long story short husband is 58 yr old previously fit and healthy. Became short of breath at Easter and has gone down hill since. Diagnosed with pleural effusion and then further tests colonoscopy and gastroscopy showed primary goblet cells appendix cancer and goblet cell stomach lining cancer. He has a permanent plural catheter in that I drain 3 times a week to manage the breathlessness and he can only manage small meals as feels very full quickly. He has lost weight and struggles to mobilise very far.
We have an appt at beginning August to see an oncologist for hopefully some treatment. We have had a couple of visits from palliative care nurse
It has been such a shock and a rollercoaster ride
Hoping to share any information and manage concerns. We live in Sunderland north east england
Thanks for reading Jane
