I do not know where to start with this one, my head is still in a spin. The good news is we took mum home yesterday.
I had a phone call from the hospital yesterday lunch time saying that they were sorry but there had been a mistake on mums histopathology report. It was recorded that mum had small cell lung cancer and that the other tumour was non small cell.
Mums lung cancer is non small cell which meant that the one in the common bile duct is metastases not a 2nd primary. My family and I were put through 24 hours of hell and all for the omission of three little letters!
I am relieved yet so angry. Yes this is still not good news but I believe that the treatment options will be more straight forward now that we are only dealing with one type of cancer.
We were also told that it is the small bowel that is involved and that it is the bowel that has invaded the common bile duct, this was not mentioned to us previously.
I did sleep much better last night and I am ready now to face a new day.
