So scared I'm going to be diagnosed with stomach cancer

I’ve never been so frightened in my life. I was diagnosed with gastritis 7 weeks ago which is not healing..I’ve got to have an endoscopy next week and I am soo so scared that they are going to find stomach cancer… I just feel in heart that’s what it is . I have tried to prepare my family for the news but they just think I am over reacting. I just don’t know how to get through this time. 

  • I'm really sorry to hear your gastritis hasn't healed and that you're worried the endoscopy will show you have stomach cancer suesol68.

    I can't begin to imagine how stressful this must be but I'm glad you've reached out to us as so many of our members will know what you're going through, so you are not alone, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    I hope this guide we have on how to cope with waiting for news will help you over the next couple of days but if you'd like to talk to one of our cancer nurses about any of this, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to support you

    Our thoughts are with you suesol68 and we're wishing you all the best for next week.

    All the best,
