Less than 2 months ago my lovely Dad was fine. Then he complained of a sore tummy. After seeing a doctor he was sent for a CT scan and they saw abnormal lymph nodes. He was sent for another CT scan for his chest and all clear. He had a biopsy which came back showing poorly differentiated carcinoma with unknown priory. Within a couple of weeks Dad had severe abdominal pain had lost his appetite and lost a lot of weight. After an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy they found a cancer in his colon at the corner between the ascending colon and traverse colon. They advised they would do surgery and booked him in for a couple of weeks time (he had to self isolate due to Covid). Dad went quickly downhill and had a really bad day with vomiting and diarrhoea. The next day he saw his consultant who admitted him to hospital immediately. That was yesterday. The consultant on duty called and advised us they are extremely perplexed as the tumor does not look like a normal tumor or what they would expect and its touch and go. All throughout the consultants keep using the word perplexed. My Dad has always been strong and fit and had regular bowel cancer tests..last one in August showed clear. Now I'm so scared my Dad is in hospital alone. They said they will operate on Tuesday if he makes it until then. He is too full of life and it's all happening so quickly. It's just heartbreaking. We can't see him and I just don't know how to cope with all this.
Hi Court. He is having his surgery this afternoon.
