My mum was diagnosed with bladder cancer almost a year ago. She’s been let down every step of the way. She recently had scans to see if her treatment had been at all successful and she was waiting for her appointment in 2 weeks with her oncologist to find out the results. She is also under a urologist because she has bilateral nephrostomies. He is seeing her next week for a consult after a cystoscopy and to discuss next steps with the nephrostomies. He called her at 7pm on Monday evening to tell her the scans show lesions on her lungs. She has had no previous spread and her oncologist was confident that treatment would be successful as surgery isn’t an option. My mum lives alone in Wales and I live on the Isle of Man. I am absolutely disgusted that she was given this news over the phone when she has nobody with her. We are devastated and more so because I can’t be there to support her.
