Our world was rocked this week when my dad was told following an endoscopy that he has 2 grade 2 malignant tumours in his lower oesophagus. They took biopsies & he will be going for a CT in 2 weeks.
One thing im struggling with is the diagnosis of cancer, which is incredibly distressing for our family, without the biopsy results. Is this a normal thing to happen without the biopsy?
Just to clarify, this was a print out of their findings & conclusion given to my dad, not simply a verbal discussion.
I cant accept that this is the prognosis without the biopsy & CT results as well & I just wondered what would be normal practice with this kind of thing?
