Hi all, thank you in advance for reading. 
 

a bit of a history.. 

9 weeks ago, I had a total abdominal hysterectomy, all went well except my bowels decided to throw a tantrum. Ended up staying in hospital a few extra days while they waited for things to get moving again.

fast forward to 2 weeks ago, needed to go to the toilet urgently, and only blood and mucus was passed. 
same happened again a few days later. 
I contacted gyne thinking this was a a results of the issues I had post op, but they said no, and to contact my gp.

gp ordered 3 stools tests. Which have since come back with the following. Cultures/infections all negative. Calprotectin abnormal 608. Fit abnormal/positive 22. 
I have intermittent lower left side pain, sometimes the upper stomach area as well, tired all the time, and a swollen lymph node in the left iliac nodes. So he's done a 2ww referal for suspected lower GI cancer. 
 I have been told that cancer and IBD is a possibility.

I suppose my reason for posting is, my husband is a "it will be nothing" personality, while I know that's his coping mechanism, I need people to be honest with me, what happens next? I had a phone call to say mdt we're meeting Wednesday morning (2 days) and then someone else will contact me, but they wouldn't elaborate futher

thank you again for reading. I feel like I need to prepare for what's coming and I have no idea what to expect xx
