Hi there
Just need to let off some steam, should really be in bed sleeping something I find hard to do since my poor mum has been diagnosed with cancer.
My mum is receiving intensive treatment at the Marsden for myeoloma. Unfortunatley we have drawn the short straw when it comes to the oncology nurse, who is suppose to be there to support and advise patient and family. This has been non exsistent and it makes me so mad especially when you are trying to deal with this awful disease!. She is crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.She ignores my mother which is appalling!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I am in the caring profesional and I would never treat someone like this. I have not approached the nurse because I could not trust myself what I would say. I would like to make an offical compliant but that would make matters worse and my poor mum does not want me to cause any problems. But I want to scream at her and say pull your bloody finger out and do your job support the patient and family. Sorry everyone but feel much better for writing it all down and letting others know. God only knows we have enough to contend with let alone crap service.
