Bad news...sprinkled with good luck

My much loved Dad (81) had stomach ulcers and a stomach "bug" bad-gutty thingys.... ...in his stomach.....a few months ago he was given tablets and the ulcers cleared up great he was discharged, but the Doctor a lovely lady said for him to go have a biopsy "to be on the safe side" but that was a "precaution" only anyhow he was called back yesterday went today while I was at the cat homing show and told he has "cancerous cells" in his stomach another biopsy done and he is due for an MRI (he thinks) but the Doctor said if it is worse case senario he is caught early and part of his stomach can be removed and "happiness..... ... so a bit of good and bad news in one bad its there at all but good its early and caught early/pre cancerious we are told at the moment....see what happen when you leave them on their own......CHAOS.


You have to bear in mind I was not with them and am relying on my Dad's info....(he is 80% deaf and this obviously scare him whitless) and my Mom's info who was in tears as soon as the word Cancer was mentioned... and my brother who took them but by the time he had gone and parked after dropping them off he waited in the waiting room rather than going in they told him so his version is the same as theirs...which I now have OBVIOUSLY....I would have gone in and listened to the results/info...or gone in and seen the Dr when Mom & Dad said in the hosiptal the diagnosis but my brother is a lot like my Dad...don't make a fuss.. ...I will be going to all future appointments...


So bad news "cancer" tinged with good, caught early.

All good wishes for the future management
(and isn't it odd to accept changing from 'cared-for' to 'carer' when it comes to your parents?)

It must be difficult when you get that sort of information second-hand. Hope all goes well for your dad and thoughts are with you all.
