I’m reaching out regarding my husband, [Husband’s Name], who was diagnosed with bowel cancer last Wednesday. Since then, we’ve been waiting for the results samples taken from the tumor. Unfortunately, the doctor was unable to get a clear view of the tumor, and we are still waiting for a CT scan and test results to understand the next steps in his treatment.
At this point, my husband is in severe, constant pain. He is very weak, unable to go to the toilet due to the tumor blocking his bowel movements, and I’m concerned about his overall condition. We visited the doctor this morning, but despite his significant pain and discomfort, he was sent home without any intervention or plan to manage his pain.
I’m deeply worried about his well-being. We have a young baby, and I’m working, so it’s becoming incredibly difficult to manage everything while he is in such pain and unable to care for himself. I’m writing to you because I feel that we are not receiving the care and communication we need. We don’t know what steps to take next, and we’re feeling increasingly helpless.
Could you please help us by advising on how we can get more immediate support for his pain and condition? Is there anything we can do to expedite the test results or arrange for further medical care to alleviate his suffering? We are desperate for some guidance or action, as it feels like we’ve been left in limbo.
I greatly appreciate your time and any help or advice you can offer in this difficult situation.
