Worried prediagnosis

My brother has been told he requires a cat scan of his chest, pelvis and abdomen following vomiting blood and issues with his blood test. He has an ulcer and I'm so worried and not sure how long he has to wait. I know no one can tell me- I just needed to say this out loud so that I can support my brother without stressing him out. We both think he might have cancer but don't know and struggling with the uncertainty. 

  • Hello Isabella69

    I'm sorry to hear that your brother has had some health concerns recently and that he's now waiting on further tests. it's understandable that you're feeling worried about his upcoming CT scan and what the results of this may reveal. Hopefully, he won't have to wait too long for the scan and the team will then have all the information they need to give a proper diagnosis.

    If you want to chat things through with one of our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm (excluding bank holidays). 

    Keep in touch Isabella and let us know how you're both doing. 

    Best wishes,
