I had a gastroscopy yesterday and was astounded to see they took 15 biopsies from 9 sites. I've been in severe stomach pain today and the hospital has apologised for not telling me that would happen. I can't even drink a hot drink. My question is - was he just being thorough, or should I prepare myself for some bad news as once he looked inside the doctor saw some either cancerous or swollen/ulcerative tissue?
An honest response would be appreciated!
