Hi ..story so far … went to the doctors on 15th October .. I had been having trouble swallowing for a few weeks and then noticed my poo had turned jet black !!! I’m glad it did because I’m not sure I would of gone to the doctors if it hadn’t 19th October COVID test at the hospital for pre Bronchoscopy … 20th October Self isolation and blood test … 21st Bronchoscopy … after the procedure the Dr said that he needed to see me after he had finished all his patience (alarm bells started ringing) I went and sat in the recovery room when I noticed that all the other patients were all coming out and going home (more alarm bells) I was then asked if I wanted to phone my wife so she could also come in with me for the meeting with the Dr ( deafening alarm bells now ) it was in this meeting that he told us that he had found a tumour 3-4 cm and that I would need to have a CT scan to see if it had spread anywhere else (devastating news for both of us..I think initially I took it better than my wife) and this would be within 2 weeks .. the next day 22nd October I had the CT scan !!!!..everything has happened sooo fast which is good of course….now it’s just a waiting game to see what the scan has revealed…as like everyone who has been told such news your world is turned on it’s head …. They are having their meeting about what steps they are going to take next … just wish I could stop my brain thinking the worst .. can’t sleep properly but always tired ..and now getting palpitations which I’m putting down as stress ..sound familiar??? My fingers and toes are crossed for myself and everyone else x
