Bad news yesterday feel in limbo

Hi my husband who is  49 had change if bowel habbits few months ago, spoke to Dr who did bloody and poo sample that both came back clear but as he was still experiencing some bleeding he sent for fast track colonoscopy. Anyway he went yesterday and they called me  in to pick him up to tell us that they hadn't been able to go too far up with the camera as there was a mass/polyip/tumour blocking the way, they took biopsies yesterday and said it is malignant. So we are now waiting for MrI and Ct scan to see what the plan is. He has not lost weight at all no nausea and no other symptoms. I am beside myself and font know what to read or if I can ring to ge this sorted quicker etc. They could say much only that to stay positive. I feel like they knew more but weren't saying, would they do that? Any advice greatly received

    My husband was diagnosed with rectal cancer two years ago, he was 45 at the time. A mass was found in his rectum. Once he'd had his colonoscopy things went pretty fast from there, within two weeks he began treatment and has since had part of his rectum removed and had a temporary stoma. 

     

    The waiting is painful. There are a lot of meetings that go on that we hadn't realised about. Meetings to decide the next step so waiting for information takes time.

     

    MacMillian and Magies have been a great support. 

     

    Hope this has helped. I won't say try not to worry because you do. Xx
