Biopsy results wait

I had an endoscopy 2 weeks ago they found a 5cm tumour at the bottom of my osopegus and top of my stomach. It was such a traumatic experience they had to call my husband to come in before they would discuss the findings. Dr was very negative I asked if it could be removed she said depending on what blood vessels it was attached to and if it has spread. I'm at my wits end I have had my ct scan last week still heard nothing. Had a phone call 2 days after endoscopy off nurse to see how much weight I'd lost (I haven't) I've only had symptoms of struggling to swallow since end of August. Please can anyone reassure me on anything I'm only 43.

  • Welcome to the forum Billy although I'm sorry about what was found during your endoscopy and that you're still waiting for your CT results.

    The wait for results is always a challenging time but our community know what you're going through so you're not alone and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, if there's anything you'd like to discuss with one of our cancer nurses then do get in touch with them on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to reassure you and put your mind at ease.

    I hope the results bring good news when they come through.

    All the best,
