Hi everyone.
My dad was misdiagnosed for 8 months, he was told he had Crohn's disease when it was actually stage 3 bowel cancer. He had life saving surgery eventually and had 3 foot of bowel removed along with 19 lymph nodes. He has had chemo and his bloods are good. He recently had 2 CT scans, one on his bowel and one on his liver. He has had a letter saying they have found something they want to investigate further and informed him the will do a MRI scan but not told him which part the MRI scan is on on when it will be.
He does not want his 3 grown children to know about this but my mum let slip to me as she is not talking to anyone or using a support network and she is obviously worried. My parents want things to go on as normal but I am worried that if my Dad has a limited time left we should be making the most of this time whilst he feels well.
I am trying to organise a family get together but have been told to wait until after the MRI, do I go against their wishes or do I do as they ask? My wife lost her mum last year, her Mum asked her to stay away, which my wife did and she has regretted it ever sinse.
Not sure what to do, ay advice would be greatfully recieved.
