My Mum has recently been diangosed with cancer of the appendix which has spread to her colon and abdominal wall, we do not know the stage or the prognosis yet as we have yet to see the oncologist, we do now have an appointment, finally after 8 weeks since diagnosis. To add to this, I have received a fast track referral for a biopsy and scan for suspected gyno cancer. It all seems completely overwhelming at the moment and not sure which way to turn. I have heard that there is a blood test which can diagnose cancer and have requested this from my GP today, as I am also concerned about the genetic side of colon cancer. Has anyone any advice or been through something similar? Is this an acceptable time to wait to see an oncologist??
