  • Hi Meljb 

    Welcome. This is a good place to get lots of advice.
    If you click on names you can read their bio. 
    The finding out stage is the most worrying. However many tests don’t result in cancer  Try and put it to the back of your mind until they have done the endoscopy

  • I was years before diagnosis I was missed. Lots don’t have symptoms. My hubby had loads of different tests over years it was IBS then diverticulitis. He has intolerances to lots of things he didn’t have cancer. I had symptoms of piles and had cancer. So try and not worry. Hopefully you will be like my husband and have to adjust your diet. He still has flare ups. 
    The mind can escalate and go all over the place. Please stay away from Google it doesn’t help. 
    Try and pass the time by doing things you enjoy. Hopefully you’ll get your appointment soon.
