My dad's diagnosis: bowel/liver cancer but MRI cancelled?

Hi everyone --

 

My 65 year old dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer a couple of weeks ago that's probably spread to the liver. It looks to be quite bad in his bowel. His MRI was scheduled for Friday but has just been cancelled and replaced with a consultant appointment next week. We don't know why the MRI was cancelled- does anyone know why this might be? I'm terrified and would be grateful to learn of anyone's experience navigating all this for a loved on. 

  • Hello LondonGirl and welcome to our forum.

    I'm sorry to hear that your dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer a couple of weeks ago that may have spread to his liver and that he had his MRI cancelled.This sounds like a very stressful time for all of you.

    Hopefully you will soon meet others here who have been through a similar experience with their loved ones affected by cancer, as hearing from those who understand can help.

    Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses and ask any question you may have. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes to your and your dad,
