Thankyou for letting me join this group I've posted a couple of time but i don't think i posted it correct .
last week I was told that i have OC on the junction of the stomach with a cancer called Signet Ring Cancer . That's my life was turned up side down
and the pain in my wife's face was unbearable for me to watch .
More tests needed to see if I can have a operation to remove it ,so since the Endoscopy and biopsy results that 2 weeks now we have more waiting for these tests to be completed
I am so scared of the unknown and fear for my wife who is my rock As anyone got any advise please reply
Hi
Really sorry to hear this, I think waiting for tests, results and the action plan are very hard. I would advise looking at web sites like this and the nhs rather than google.
All the professionals I have dealt with have been great really helpful, interested and supportive so once they know exactly what you are dealing with you should have a good team with you.
I was lucky they found my tumour at stage 3 just before it had spread although a couple of lymph nodes had cancer. I have now had chemo, an op and currently I’m on more chemo. It’s hard but I have every reason to believe I will survive this and live a full active life I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
it sounds like you have a great wife who’s going to be with you through this journey, I know it is hard on my husband but he has been right by my side and I’ve needed him.
Good luck
Hi
Sorry you're on this journey. The waiting and the uncertainty are awful. I remember this phase well. There is still more tests to come to check staging but once that's done they can hopefully get going with treatment. I felt better once I knew what the plan was and I'm sure you will too.
Take care
