I haven't actually been diagnosed as yet (but, after CT scan, upper GI endoscopy and biospies all carried out within the last 3-4 weeks and no follow-up outpatients consultation at either my GP surgery or at the hospital that did the tests until Monday 30/01 I have received (by Post) today another outpatient appointment at a specialist cancer facility, so can only assume the worst i.e. that they suspect or have even found cancer somewhere, although only last week they were trying to make a second CT scan appointment before the outpatients appt. about the results of the first tests had been reported back to me at outpatients so this may be a false alarm.  What do others think (apart from their communication methods being questionable or even negligent of course!)?

@ Cornishscot. ~~ Maybe something gave the testing facility a false reading and they need these follow-up test before they can give you a definitive answer. I think we all think the worse as more days pass without a 100% confirmation of a diagnosis. I'm hoping it is because they are behind the scenes working diligently to get the diagnosis right. All my best...

Had my outpatients appt. with original hospital's Gastro consultant - they have found a tumour in the top area of my tummy near but not exactly at the junction of the oesophagus but are hopeful that although already 3cm in size it is not quite "game over" for a number of reasons, not least my general wellness overall otherwise. Have been given prescription for protein meal drinks to build up my muscle mass in case surgery is required (very likely I should think and the rest!) Still have to have the Thorax CT scan and outpatients appt. with Oncologist but seems to be a single localised tumour only, i.e. nothing showing elsewhere in abdo/pelvis area so finger's crossed that is truly it for now !
