Hi Samjack7

Firstly I would say dont get ahead of yourselves, The Cancer word is scary but you dont know all the facts yet. Plus you and your mum need to be strong for your dad, and remain upbeat for his sake . Its not easy xx

The waiting is the worst, and mum has had to wait weeks on weeks for test results. Is a terribly anxious time. 

Really hoping you get some positive news xx

Hi MISSX

Thanks for your reply - it's just all so confusing at the moment.  Dad has had yet another endoscopy this afternoon and 8 biopsies have been taken   Not sure why he has had another endoscopy as no one is really explaining things properly

the waiting is definitely the worst part as you have found too x

kind of glad I have found this site as all the family are struggling to get their heads round this and it's good (but evil) that others are going through the same kind of thing

hows things for you and your mum?  

Hope all is ok and thanks so much for your post x

Hi

I havnt been involved at appointments, mum wont let us. So Im getting all of this second hand. They took 10 biopsys off mum. We waited 2 weeks for the results. Its awful.

Glad I found this site aswell. Mum wants to be normal, cant speak to her. My dad gets angry with me when Ive been in tears, and my brothers think there is going to  be a miracle ! My fiance been great, but you just want your family, or this site is great that people can chat. Mum is sadly terminal, but getting palliative chemo. Its been going on for over 12 mnths, investigations etc and some highs and lows. Id be here all day telling you. She was diagnised terminal a month or so ago. 

For you guys atm, its very scary. But really I dont think you should get ahead of yourselves. Take each day as it comes. If you cant talk to family pop on here tell me whats going on. Its a rollercoaster thats for sure. PMA thats what you need . 

When do you get biopsy results x

Hiya

biopsy results due on Friday but really not sure he will last that long.  He looks shocking -no food for 3 weeks now and he is only on fluid drips.  He can only have water to rinse his mouth out and it's all so bloody cruel and unfair!!!

Mum and the rest of the family are devastated but it is just a waiting game.  McMillan nurses have been involved over he last 2 days and they have been amazing but there are no beds at our local hospice - and mum wouldn't cope very well having him at home as she can't do any kind of illness!  

Hey ho -  just gotta try and keep him boosted as much as possible - but it is getting harder every day  got a meeting with palliative consultant tomorrow so might know more then but there has been a lot of mixed messages so far

im not sure how I would get through the last 12 months that you have been faced with - especially if you are feeling shut out from knowing info first hand!!  I'm dead nosey and need to get my head round things but you sound  like you have great support from your fiancé !

Keep positive
