Hi everyone am new here, my partner was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago i am still in shock and totally devestated. Its a long story so i will keep it as short as i can, he was badly constipated with a huge swollen stomach went to A E who admitted him, they did scan found large mass back of bowel and wrapped round aorta. sent him to another hospital in my home town, the hospital has an oncology unit but he is not in there he is on a normal ward.they said his swollen stomach is fluid from the cancer its massive. they did biopsy 11 days ago we got part of the results back they think its lymphoma but need to know what type so right now they cant do anything and said its pointless putting him on oncology ward because they cant do anythig there either. He hasnt eaten and hardly drank anything for 2 weeks now and is in agony. he has detariorated lost weight but the fluid in his stomach is huge, they call it acetis i think, they wont drain it, he has to have pet scan on wednesday Then its a wait for the results i feel like he has been left to rot by the time they decide to do anything he will be dead and i have told them this.
