Welcome back to the forum Peakay. It's great to hear your son is still in remission although I'm sorry that your husband may now be dealing with his own cancer diagnosis.

I'm also sorry no-one was able to get back to you before your husband had his triage telephone call the other day. I hope it went ok and you were able to get some much needed answers but if you would like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to address your queries and concerns.

I hope some of our members who have received a similar diagnosis or cared for someone that has will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice as well.

When you're feeling up to it do keep us know what happens. We'll have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Kind regards,

Steph, thank you so much for responding. He had the triage call yesterday, blood test today. Nothing definite from the call. As I was typing this, he’s had a call from the hospital, an appointment tomorrow morning, they suggest he takes someone with him.

I know the next 24 hours are going to be tough, but we are here for you Peakay and are sending you both all our strength and support.

I hope this guide we have on how to cope with waiting for news will help to steady your nerves as well.

Good luck, and whatever happens, you are not alone.

Kind regards,

Thank you, I’ve had a look, he is actually quite good at compartmentalising things. I will come back tomorrow whatever. Thanks again, you’ve always been so supportive.

Hi, Steph, well, it’s definitely cancer, NET. It has spread ro the liver, 4cm, and the bowel. He has a nuclear scan on 29th June, I think to see if it’s anywhere else, and is to do a 24 hour urine test. He will then be referred for possible surgery and treatment. Any advice welcomed.

Thank you, Steph, he’s very upbeat, we are supposed to be away for all of September and October, he’s more worried about losing that. Probably just his coping mechanism.

i would love to hear other people’s experiences, thanks again.
