My Dad aged 80 has for the last four months had severe stomach pain every time he eats. He has also lost over a stone in weight, although this is because he refuses to eat because of the pain. He has been diagnosed as having a stomach ulcer with a node growing on it. He now has to go for CT scan to determine what help he may receive. when the consultant phoned to inform him of the findings, my Dad asked is it cancer or leukaemia. The consultant said no but would need CT scan results before he decides what treatment although there is no surgery and possibly radium or chemotherapy would be the option used. If there is no cancer why would radium or chemo help. I'm hoping my Dad hasn't picked the man up wrong, he is partially deaf so can anyone on here maybe advise if they have any info on this type of health issue.
