Hi, 7 weeks ago my mom died. She had been ill for a few months and it all came to a head mid August. I had to phone an ambulance. We were totally unaware of what was really wrong. All we knew was she had a pre leukaemia which was deemed low risk and she had a pre existing heart condition. But I knew something serious was wrong. No one listened. She was in hospital for 12 days & on day 11 they did a CT scan to find out why she was deteriorating. The next day we were told she had metastatic ovarian cancer. 2 hours later she died. It was so traumatic and horrific. I am so broken & hurting inside. We are in the process of getting her medical records to try and get some answers or at least make them think about how they treat people and listen to family. I just don’t know what to do and how to cope with it all.
