Well that's what mum calls his bowel cancer.
Dad started to go down hill in feb'18, started with a heart attack, two hospitals and six weeks later he came home with two stents being fitted. Towards the end of August '18, he was having tests done, colonoscopy and endoscopy, not really sure why these were being done, however he had his colonoscopy, and was at the hospital for the endoscopy, when he had an angina attack, which landed him back in hospital after being in around 3 weeks and no transfer in sight to our main cardiac unit, I asked if his results were through from the colonoscopy, they were. When the Dr asked shall I close the curtains, I just knew what was wrong. From then on for a another week, tests, scans, CT, MRI etc. Finally the results were in t3.5 tumour. No stent fitted, he couldn't have surgery, because of the heart probs, we even saw Mr Koo, a really nice gentleman. Home he came, saw s colerectal surgeon, she ref through to oncology,. He was only being offered five radiotherapy sessions, no other treatment poss.
Now up to date this saga,. Mum is having memory problems, dad lives in a bubble, so I go to all drs and hospital appts last Friday saw another cardiologist, as dad said his angina was getting worse.
He is having pain in right shoulder,, and his stomach is very distended, could this mean the cancer has spread. I just need some advice really, what to do next, back to oncologist, or gp, we no they will only offer pain relief, although dad says no pain, we no different. Could it have spread to his stomach, or would it be another organ that would cause these symptoms. Shas58
