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.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
