Hello, I’m new to group. My husband who has had a recurrence of oesophageal cancer with secondaries in chest and stomach, was doing remarkably well. After his discharge from hospital and given over to palliative care, he was able to eat small meals and put back on a stone in weight! The district nurses and McMillan nurses stepped down as he was doing well. He found he had a numbness in left foot/ankle which at first we put down to a Parkinsons diagnosis, however he then suddenly could not lift right arm. He was sent for urgent scan in case of spinal cord compression but no mets seen there or in brain. His right foot is now affected and he can no longer stand. Has anyone else heard of this? Doctors say it is general decline due to cancer but it doesn’t add up.
