Worried wife trying to get information
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 8:11 am
Good Morning All,
Three weeks ago my 43 year old husband (no family history) went to get an MRI to investigate pains in lower left side he was admitted to the hospital and had a mass removed along with a foot and a half of colon removed two weeks ago we received the news that it was an adenocarcinoma which was sent to another lab to have more tests done due to the fact that they were in able to determine if it was stage two or stage four (all lymph nodes were clear) we have an appointment with an oncologist in two weeks. With my limited knowledge I have received from two weeks of googling (that I have since stopped do to the fact that all it was doing was messing with my head) I am assuming he either has very bad stage two or good stage four if there is such a thing. We are also waiting for results of a upper chest CT scan as well.
I guess my questions to you all is information you wish you had asked the oncologist, treatments and yes the side effects (I know everyone is different but I like being prepared) also how I can support him though all of this. Any information would be good I know the waiting around is probably the worst part.
Thank you all in advance
