Hi my husband recently was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his cecum and an operation to remove this was planned, however after an horrendous bout of pain he was admitted as an emergency and it was found that the tumour had become infected and his bowels had become impacted. The operation went well and the tumour was removed successfully, unfortunately whilst he was in hospital he ‘acquired' pneumonia which left him feeling very frail and tired and his stay had to be extended. On discharge he was informed that all the cancer had been removed and no further treatment was necessary, we have now had a call to tell us that one of his lymph nodes was found to have 'deposits' and he has been given an appointment in a few days time. He is very disappointed and wary of more treatment, please can anyone tell us what this may entail and if he should be asking any questions that we might need to ask to help him understand why this has happened. He is 84 years old and otherwise in excellent health. Thank you in advance of any help/information.
