I recently came on here about my husbands possible C diagnosis .

Last week it was confirmed he has stage 3, he is now being referred, this was done on Wed by the Consultant, the Macmillan nurse has said if you haven't heard anything by next Wed, contact me, I will sort it. That aside, when we were told by the consultant, I asked what stage, and treatment available, not sure how I managed that...as the world seemed to stand still...anyway, he said stage 3, and radiotherapy and chemo, but no mention of surgery? Is that normal?

Thank you

    Hello and thank you for updating us.

    It is difficult for us to say exactly what may happen at the appointment, but as it will be the first time the specialist team will be meeting you and your husband they may go through the diagnosis again and check you both understand it. They then may go through in more detail the treatments that are available to him.

    Hopefully you will know more Friday, but do give us a call if you want to talk anything through that they discuss with you.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
