Hi everyone

Welcome to our group..though not one you wanted to join!  This must be a stressful time as you don’t know what you’re dealing with!  12 weeks seems a very long time to wait and I am not sure why another scan is needed?

I had stomach cancer five years ago and now eat and drink pretty much as before!  The tumour was found by an endoscopy which is quite common.  I had a CT scan and an MRI to check if there was any spread.  I was lucky it was found very early.

I had chemo and then a partial gastrectomy.  Usually there is chemo after surgery but I didn’t need that as the first lot of chemo had eradicated the tumour.

It might be worth contacting the medical team to get more information about the timescale for further tests.

I found the information on the Oesophageal Patient Association website really helpful

Do post questions on this group as there are lovely people who are living well without a stomach!

Thank you for your kind advice.
