    I am very sorry to hear about your Mum and the way that you are being treated. It is unbelieveable. My Mum died on the 13th May, 3 days after diagnosis; but she had been in bed for a few days the previous week and could not eat, a doctor came out, held her hand and told her that she needed to start eating otherwise she would not get better! She had a very aggressive type of cancer and could not eat any more and when her normal doctor came to see her, he was so shocked that he arranged for Mum to go in to hospital to have a scan done, 4 days before she died. Another doctor said that she would be better off at home as she could pick up all sorts of things in hospital and she was only a little dehydrated.  

    I hope that your mum receives everything that she needs and I send my very best wishes to you and your family.
