I'm 24 years old and I'm in pieces that my 59 year old dad has had abdominal pains for 6 weeks. The doctors put it down to constipation and said because he has no blood in his poo he doesn't have cancer. Anyway I made him demand for a CT scan which showed that he has a 6cm lump in his duodenum(top part) and something else in his liver.
Im in bits and absolutely shocked. I don't know what to do with myself. The wait for further investigation on the nhs is 2 weeks or more. We have decided to go privately as we are so close as a family and decided to all try and pay for this as we are all so worried.
He is waiting for a CT scan and endoscopy. He is in pain but not too bad and still eating, walking and exercising as normal.
All I can see is negative stories at the moment and it's just making me feel really sad about this whole situation. Please can someone help.
