Hi I’ve just joined this forum, i was diagnosed on the 28th of June after suffering for over a year with my stomach and after three weeks as an inpatient in hospital which I was admitted to after having blood tests and discovered my HB was 60 and needed to have a blood transfusion and afterwards diagnosed with bowel obstructions I was unable to eat for two and a half weeks I’m now on stage 4 of cancer bowel obstruction diet, I was transferred to a cancer hospital where I stayed for Two weeks before I was discharged just over 1 week an a half ago as an outpatient to receive chemotherapy, which seems to going well so far apart from chemo brain and but I know that can change, I've started to lose some of my hair but I’ve been really positive so far I am lucky I have a big family with loads of support, but I feel like no body understands and I can’t talk to them properly. I’ve researched my diagnosis and it is very rare so I’m not expecting many people to have the same diagnosis as me. Just thought I’d share my experience so far.
