Having lost my father to cancer when I was around 20, I am now potentially looking at the same battle with my mother.
She has been experiencing nausea, heartburn, abdominal pain, fatigue for some time now. Although fatigue has been very long standing but the nausea has been steadily increasing over the past few months. After urging her to visit the GP she finally did due to lower right quadrant pain, where she previously had years ago prior to appendix removal. After this visit GP fast tracked tests. FiT test came back abnormal, although 6 months prior I noted she had the test return negative. Awaoting colonoscopy and abdominal ultrasound scan.
After viewing the results of her recent blood tests I noticed abnormal but expected despite the fact that WBC are increasing with each subsequent blood test, as are the platelet counts and neutrophils. Which from my understanding could be an indication of a tumour. Unsure what Im after from posting this as I understand everyone has differing symptoms and journey etc. Perhaps I just needed to vent and write this into words.
