Husband had had Ct scan next appointment is with the oncologist, what is that for

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that your husband has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and I know what a difficult time this will be for you both.

    Has you husband been assigned a cancer nurse specialist (CNS) yet? If so, he could give her a call to find out what will be discussed at his appointment with an oncologist. If he doesn't have a CNS then he could phone the oncologist's secretary to ask what the appointment is for.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your husbands diagnosis into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi Shoe lady

    Did you manage to speak to the oncologist's secretary as Latchbrook suggested? If not, the appointment might be to talk about possible chemo or radiotherapy treatment.
