Confused about results.

My wife went to doctors with rough voice and they checked thyroid come back normal, was then sent to ENT who performed a Nasal Endoscopy and she has Eusophageous Cancer she would have to come back the next week for a biopsy and ultra sound.

The next week she attended for ultrasound and biopsy was cancelled after getting results, we went to doctors office to be told it wasn't Eusophageous Cancer it was Thyroid and Lung Cancer a biopsy was taken on thyroid and lymph nodes that has come back negative but DR has told us to ignore them results she does have cancer.

 

She now has a feeding tube and been placed on morphine and told not to eat or get out of bed, they have taken another biopsy but still nothing from lungs and told us they don't think it is curable but still with a negative result.

 

we are so confused with everything.

  • Hello Chris

    I'm sorry to hear about your wife's current health problems. It does sound like it's been a very confusing and difficult time for you both with no real answers about what is going on. 

    You might find it helpful to contact your hospitals PALS team. They can offer confidential advice, support and information on health-related matters and can help resolve concerns or problems when you're using the NHS. 

    Don't forget that your GP is still available during this current Covid pandemic so you might want to consider getting in touch with them as well. They should have had an update from the hospital regarding your wife's tests and appointments so may be able to help clarify some of the information. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're most welcome to call them. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope that you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
