Slow response

Afternoon kingscourt

So sorry to read about your poor mum and finding you have had no replies as yet, unfortunately not so many members here read the blog posts, they go directly to the groups they have joined to 'chat' with others in similar situations.

Best thing you could do is join the very active 'Supporting Someone With Incurable Cancer Group' just click the link to find it.
 When you join create a New Discussion and copy in your above text as an introduction - I'm sure you will soon get some supportive replies with advice and opinions.

If it could also be of help for you as a carer there is this very good Carers Group you could also join.

Do you know if Clatterbridge actually contacted a Macmillan nurse to help with your mum or only said they would ? It's a sign of the times that these vital things sometimes go amiss and you just sit there expecting a call back :(

You should also contact the GP and ask if one has been referred for your mum, you would think it would be on her records if this actually happened. If not the GP can refer one.  I'm hoping all this is an oversight which shouldn't have happened and not a reflection of the sort of service you will be getting from your local health trust :(

Hope this is of some help to get you and your mum the help you are entitled to.

Take care, G n' J  (breast group)

My dear mum passed away yesterday morning

So sorry to hear your news. The speed of this must be a real shock to you and your family. I'm affraid i can only offer virtual hugs, at this awful time.
