Hi I'm awaiting diagnosis after a mass was found through having a scan. Sample has been taken, just need to be told what's next. Frightened but have to know. I'm 75 retired, love by myself, but daughter nearby, thank goodness
Hi
This will be a really difficult and scary time for you. I had stomach cancer four years ago and remember only too clearly how I felt when I was diagnosed.
At this stage the medical team will do a lot of tests to get information and this will inform the treatment plan. I had chemo then surgery. Often there’s more chemo after surgery.
Once you know what you are dealing with, it is easier.
You will get support from your medical team but I found this Forum invaluable.
Do post any questions and good luck!
