My husband has just been diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer! I am a qualified nurse with many specialities but not palliative care! I have recently got a new job, found out on my first day only 4 weeks ago and I couldn’t be at the appointment! Waiting to see an oncologist but the administration team being awkward and won’t give us an appointment that I can attend! I am overwhelmed and have quite a few questions! I just wanted to go to that appointment but it doesn’t look hopeful as I need a weeks notice and they won’t give me that at the hospital! I understand my husband is not the only one but I trained in the days where carers were important too and it does not seem that way now! I am so upset I can not go to what I see as the most important appointment! Has any one else had this? My employer is helping as much as poss but we only have 2 staff running really busy clinics at the moment!
