Hi, my Mum has been in hospital over the last several weeks investigating a mass in her liver and bile duct region which they now believe is cancer following scans and suspicious 'inconclusive' biopsy results from drained fluid (ascites).
The mass is blocking her bile duct which we were being told they were going to put a stent in to help the bile flow again which has now been cancelled as the consultant has said she needs to go on palliative care and there is nothing they can do to treat her despite being led to believe last week that they were looking at options for a stent and chemo/ radiotherapy just last week .
Feeling very frustrated and like we have been given false hope by the medical team leading up to this
I would like to ask for advice on the best pathways for advocating on behalf of a family member and advise for liasing / requesting a second opinion from their medical team
