Hello Jane-L

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. Undoubtedly this must have been incredibly difficult news to receive and, understandably, you're both feeling terrified by what the future holds. 

Has the hospital said when you may hear back with news of the histology results? Hopefully, it won't be too long before you have those answers and the team will be able to offer some reassurance about the next steps in your husband's care. 

We know that waiting for news can be a challenging time. If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. 

I hope you have answers soon Jane. Keep in touch and let us know how you're both coping. 

Sending you my best wishes at this difficult time.

Thank you for your response. 
We had the results today and they confirmed bowel cancer that has spread to the liver. They said it’s incurable but he is starting the first steps of chemo on Monday. 
All we heard is incurable so it’s hard to see past that. 
is it possible to live many years if the chemo can get it under control? 
I can’t bear the thought of losing him. He’s just 55 . Thank you 

Thank you for this. We just can’t get past the word incurable but your reply has given me some hope x
