Hello, I’m new to this group. It’s so lovely to be able to chat. My mother found a lump on her breast at the beginning of lockdown. I was caring for her and felt the lump. She went to the GP and was referred to the consultant. No test were done. She was examined and was told it was not cancer. She was told to go home and get on with it. Through the three years I saw the lump grow, but mum insist that it was ok because the consultant said it was nothingjust after Christmas this year her nipple disappeared and we made her go back to GP. It was to late scan showed Breast cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes and a CT scan showed spread to her lungs. Back in March she was told she had 6 to 12 months. I have raised a concern with PALS and had a reply. They said there was no lump.
I am not the kind of person who likes conflict, but I am so disappointed with this consultant. I am unsure where to go with this as the outcome won’t change. I’m still loosing my mum. I know what’s ahead for her as I have just watched my in-laws die with cancer. The care they received from McMillan was incredible and neither of them suffered. I will continue to care for my mum in peace and harmony but can’t get rid of this disappointment in the consultant.
