My mum has been diagnosed with metastatic bladder cancer. She has had 3 lots of treatment so far but had to have the fourth postponed because of her liver enzymes shooting up. She got admitted to hospital for a couple of night as it looked like she was dehydrated and had an infection. She’s been discharged but since being home she is finding it very hard to use her legs, like she’s lost all strength and she is in extreme pain with her back. She has another appointment on Tuesday with her oncologist to discuss her recent CT results. I’m so worried that because of how poorly she feels and looks as she’s lost a lot of weight also that means the treatment isn’t working. We are having to help her stand and climb the stairs. It’s breaking me seeing her like this and I’m so worried they won’t do anything else for her x
