Hi all I was on This forum back in 2017 had to do a new account as forgot my password.. my mum had the Ivor Lewis in 2018 with a few complications after but she has been ok since… she’s been having a a few problems and lost a bit of weight so she went to the doctors last week and they sent her for a endoscopy.. they found a mass on the top of the stomach that looks malignant , so she is due to get a CT scan on Monday. I’m so scared has anyone els on here had this problem ?
