New diagnosis/upper gastrointestinal

Hi

Sorry to hear you are so unwell and hope the endoscopy on Friday provides some answers.  It must be difficult if you are in pain and unable to eat.  
Once you have a diagnosis there will be a treatment plan - chemotherapy or surgery or both.  There are other treatments too so hopefully they will help!

Do use this group,there are lots of lovely people to support you!

Good luck!

I'm really sorry to hear that you are so unwell and in pain. I hope you can get all the testing and confirmation of what exactly is wrong soon as possible, the waiting and not knowing period is extremely tough to deal with. Once you know what exactly is going on and the treatment plan, things will feel better.

My Mum who now has advanced  stomach cancer also had breast cancer 8 years ago so I imagine it feels doubly unfair to have to go through one cancer and then another. Because of this, she's also getting some genetic testing done just to see if this is caused by a rogue gene! 

You made me smile  ……that saying is so true !! …..Thankyou for responding . I’m trying to get my routine back  the reality of the possible outcome knocked me for a few days . My family have been amazing and that helps . I’ll make sure to leave update when known

Firstly …..I’m so very sad about your dear Mum  ……my breast cancer was over 30 yrs ago ( I was 41 ) but I remember all too well how it was . I do wonder ( if this is cancer again for me ) whether it will be found to be secondary despite the time lapse .

I appreciate so much you caring to reach out to me despite the anxiety you must be feeling . I hope she will not suffer too much pain  ……it’s an evil disease.

Thank you, that is kind of you to say! I hope things get better for you soon. It most certainly is a cruel, cruel disease.
