Confused

My husband had a camera into his stomach today, the specialist took a few samples for biopsy. The doctor from hospital phoned me and said he needed to speak with my husband and I together, when I arrived at the hospital the specialist had already spoken with my husband and son, he did not wait for me to be present, doc. Explained to them both that he has found a large stomach ulcer and the outcome was not looking good not good at all! So what does this mean

  • Hello craned64,

    I can understand how you're feeling, though it's difficult to say at this point because your husband's doctor is the best person to discuss the possible next steps with you. It may be that further tests are needed. Ahead of a future appointment, it might help to write down any questions and concerns you have on a notepad and take it with you for notes. This can help you feel more prepared and ensure that everything you want to discuss is covered. There is some information here, which I hope is useful 

    I hope this helps,
