Hi. My mum has a sigmoid tumour diagnosed after initial colon CT, full CT and sigmoidoscopy. We have been informed that the a multidisciplinary meeting is being arranged to assess paths moving forward.
Lovely mum also has Alzheimer’s and every appointment, test and procedure has had to be handled with care, much support and love to even get through a door. She has limited/sporadic understanding of the outcomes but is not unaware.
Can we ask (me with her full consent & also LPA) to have the more extensive scope CT scan results uploaded to NHS or sent? We may have possibly three weeks until we see a consultant, and although she may be incredibly anxious or not at all day by day, it would be so helpful for my brother and I to have some understanding of the findings prior to meeting with the consultant with mum present so we can be the strongest we can be in supporting her understanding in the gentlest way possible given her dementia.
so basically … can we ask that a particular CT report be available and what is the best route if so.
thank you to all who have been on this journey, going on this journey or are supporting others.
