Worried

I had a cat scan yesterday the rapid diagnostic team organised it today they rang me and said there is a mass at my gastrointestinal junction being rushed through for a gastroscopy so the dr can visualise it better and take biopsies.

 

can anyone who has experience of this give me further insight a bit worried now xxx

  • Welcome to our forum, Mumof344.

    I'm sorry to hear that a mass was found in your gastrointestinal junction that needs further investigation and can appreciate why you're worried.

    Unfortunately, since we're not doctors we can't tell you what that might mean so your best bet will be to wait until you can be seen by your medical team again. If you find the wait too stressful and feel like speaking with someone medically trained might help before your next appointment, feel free to ring our team of nurses. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes,
