Hi Beaumont44, 

I just wanted to say we are thinking of you during this stressful time. I guess the MDT meeting was today and I hope that you get an appointment soon to find out exactly what is going on. It's completely normal to be scared when dealing with all this uncertainty at the moment and after having been through all these tests. 

Let us know what you find out - you are not alone though and many members of our community have been through this before and will hopefully come and say hello soon and share their stories with you. While you are waiting, as there is nothing harder than waiting for a diagnosis, I thought I would share with you our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for news. 

Best wishes,

Thankyou for your response , nothing today but hoping a phonecall in the morning x

So glad to hear the surgery went well.

Gosh a week without food sounds hard. Do they have you on a dripnor something?

Hope that younare up and about soon and that the procedure proves to have done the trick.

Very best to you.

Great to hear the surgery went well. What a nice surprise to wake up afterwards and find that you didn't have a stoma. An amazing feeling! 

A week of no food sounds hard going but they know what they are doing and hopefully you will be home and being able to eat soon.

Take care and get lots of rest so you can recover well.
