the doctor stopped my mums chemo on tuesday saying its not doing any good

so we dont get a new scan and we dont know how long she has got ;left

they said in november 6-9 moths and we are now in the seventh month cant they give use more info, the doctor gave the impression he was not a@#ed, why are the macmillan nurses and the people in wiilow brook so good and caring yet the doctors treat you like you are on a assembly line

where as the Mac nurses and the rest of the nursing staff really do care,about their patients

welfare.

Take care and be safe. Big hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

Dear Dscal

I often feel the same as you, that we are only statistics to the doctors and nurses in the hospital. They don't fully understand what we're going through emotionally - it's just a job to them. How on earth can they tell without a scan that the chemo's not doing your mum any good?

I'm frightened silly about John's next scan. He is due to have one more chemo IV and then a scan to see whether it is worth carrying on with the treatment. I'm hoping and praying that it's working and he can carry on so that he gets a fighting chance of surviving this terrible disease.

My heart goes out to you and your mum.

Lots of love and *hugs*
