Partner undergoing tests for cancer

I am worried sick for him.  He’s had a colonoscopy,  he’s having a CT scan next week 23/4/25.  Followed by an operation on 29/4/25.  Colorectal I think?  I am really climbing up the wall and I’m worried.  We haven’t seen the Consultant at the SDH so we haven’t really been told anything!!  I’m scared for him.  I don’t understand why nobody is telling is anything 

  • Hi there Kinskia and thank you for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your partner and appreciate what an anxious time this must be for you both.

    I really do hope you both get a better understanding about what is going on and what the operation will entail very soon. As your partner has a scan tomorrow I would suggest asking if your partner can speak to someone whilst he is there. Failing that the name of the consultant he is under and calling their secretary through the main switchboard to see if they can tell you anymore.

    Hopefully things will be made much clearer to you soon.

    Do get back in touch if you wish to and remember we are also here on the helpline 0808 800 4040, weekdays 9-5 if you prefer to talk over the phone.

    All the best

    Naomi
