My daughter Nicola

Less than one minute read time.

My daughter Nicola dyed at the end of March. She dicovered breast cancer in 2007 and had the lump removed and her glands from under her arm , chemo and radio therapy followed by anti cancer drugs.                                                                                                                                               

 

Unfortunately her follow up treatment let her down big time, although she kept telling her GP and her comsultant there was something not right with her it fell on deaf ears. BY the time some one listen to her and found secondary breast cancer in her liver and her bones she only lived another eighteen days.  She was 42 years old with lots of plans for her future. Her father brothers and me are still in shock from loosing our girl and broken hearted.  Nicola was angry in the last couple of weeks of her life that she hadent been listened to.

I  am making sure I am sending letters to my MP and the hospitals concerned over the treatment of Nicola and maybe future victims of this illness will be listened to and their survival rate will be much improved

    I am so sorry to read of your loss. I can understand why you are so angry. Too many doctors seem to treat  people as if they know nothing, when, at the end of the day, we are the ones who know our own bodies better than anyone.

    I know what you are doing won't bring your daughter back, but, like you say, hopefully it will stop others being treated in the same way in future.

    Please accept my condolences on your sad loss.

    Best wishes, Christine xx

    Hello Pamela,

    I am so very sorry that you have lost your lovely daughter to this awful disease, we lost our beautiful niece to breast cancer at the age of 37, she passed away on the 30th March 2008.

    I am so sorry that the medical team let your daughter down, this did not happen with my niece, she had the best care possible.

    Her mum was also called Pamela, although we call her Pam. We were all devastated the day she died, we still are, no more so than her wonderful parents.

    Grief holds no boundaries, when we lose those we love and cherish so much, and when it is a child, no matter how old they are, they will always be our children.

    We get on with our life as she would have wanted us to, but there will always be a very big void in our family as the chain was broken the day we lost her.

    A quote I have always believed in, I hope it helps,

    As long as we live, they shall live too,

    for they are part of us, as we remember them.

    My sincere condolences

    Mary.
