Worried

Less than one minute read time.

Hello world, my mum who is 62 has advanced lung cancer and there talking chemo to manage the symptoms. The news has been somewhat of shock and they have said that if mum doesnt get her chemo this week she will have a few more weeks to live, but she has got a chest infection and she was meant to have it on friday. The doctor on CDU told my family it wasnt going to happen and now the nurse on the oncolgy has said that he had no right to say what he did he wasnt the speicalist.

Right now we await the cancer doctor in the morning and so we pray that the chest infection clears by friday and that she can have it on friday, if not the monday.

    hello - just read your post and thought i would say hello - i do hope that things get sorted out for your mum to have her chemo - sometimes people say things without really thinking what they are saying and the implications of what they have said - try not to dwell on it - it takes too much energy to be upset over things you have no control over - just stay strong for your mum and yourselves - take care and hope all goes well - karen - xoxo

    Hiya Karen, thank you for you kinda post. Sadly my mum passed away on the 1st of december 2009. I can honestly say it has been the worse christmas I have ever had, I hide my real feelings about everything and just how much it has hurt and is still hurting to this day. She started having fit and I think that was the beginning of the end, the doctors didnt want to do thing and they gave her two weeks to live and we all thought she was gonna make to xmas. Sadly she didnt, its near three months and I miss her so much. I went though a lot of stuff with her, she was the one person in this world that truely understood me and yet, she is the one person that was taken from me.  I just want to say thank you so much Karen, take care and be well Chris x x x
