My husband has advanced gastric cancer 2 weeks ago he had he's first 4 hr chemo drip .
Was sent home with chemo tablets however he was only taking them for a week when he's side effects were really bad.
He had an usually gagging feeling every time he had something to eat or drink.
The cancer nurse contacted the ongulist he said he needed to stop tablets and a ct scan was booked for him the following day.
This absolutely terrified me the reason for the ct scan was they were worried in case it had spread to hes head . He's head has been fine
But now we are still waiting for results as it has been Easter holidays. However the cancer nurse assured me that if their was anything there the radiologist are trained to spot anything untoward.
But now we are in limbo we don't know if he will have to start on new chemo tablets he's next cycle is due end of April. I'm really worried he's not very well. Has anybody else been in a similar situation?
Hi
Having to wait for the results of tests and scans can be a very worrying time. Do you know when your husband's will be ready? Sometimes it can be easier on your emotions if you have a timescale to work to.
In the meantime try to do things that you enjoy to distract yourself. You might also find taking a look at this information on how to ease worry when waiting for results helpful.
I can see that you've joined the carers group and you might find posting about your emotions there would be helpful as you'll connect with others who have loved ones living with cancer.
Do come back and let us know your husband's results.
