Good afternoon everybody, I thought I would give a little update on Mum, and also just ask a couple of questions, which I’m sure you who have experienced this awful illness will be able to advise on.
It’s now been 7 weeks since my Mum finished her last treatment, and is still suffering with the awful sores around her bottom which just don’t seem to be healing. She has tried various different things and nothing seems to be helping. This unfortunately meant Mum was unable to attend her first consultation since finishing her treatment as she wasn’t able to put clothes on and certainly didn’t want to be examined.
The other problem is, My mum seems to be going to the toilet far more than ever, which again isn’t really helping with healing the sores. Mum can be going to the toilet up to 8 times per day which is far more than she has ever gone, and just wonder if this is normal after this sort of treatment.
Mums cancer had also spread to her lymph nodes in her groin, which although the lumps have gone down she can still feel and see them there, again just wondering if anybody knows if this is usual after this length of time and all the treatment she had.
Many thanks in advance.
