Starting off with these last few weeks have been frustrating.
My mum finished chemo 23rd Jan and was due for ct scan last Thurs. So she went the monday prior to get updated ep bloods . While doing obs , her Oxygen levels were low so they sent her to a and e . Sat on hard chair in a and e as no hospital beds .
My mum was already suffering with back pain , so hard chairs in a and e didn't help.
A and e a disaster, they gave my mum 5 medications which were meant for someone else !! Along with other mistakes.
They did ct scan but said just of lungs so we were to go back thurs for her full ct scan.
Went for scan on the thurs to be told there was no appointment and actually they did do a full ct scan whilst she was in a and e .. so a wasted journey.
Tues passes I rang appointments number as we didn't hear anything and thought we would have gotten results .
Was told no appointment on system for her this week, then this morning my mum was really sore with back pain so I rang helpline , to find out that she should have been seen this week and now to cover her over weekend prescribing her oramorph.
Has anyone on here used oramorph or on oramorph? Does it help ?
Worried now as if given morphine is that it ?
Just frustrating as though frightened of ct scan results, we just want to know what we are dealing with .
Sorry for long rant but needed it
