Our 81 year old Dad was diagnosed with terminal oesophageal cancer in September, and there’s no treatment suitable.
since then we have been caring for him at home . With a weekly visit from the district nurses and Macmillan .
on the 22cd December his doctor referred him to the hospice but they needed dads spine scanned to make sure cancer hadn’t spread . So he was admitted to our hospital for a scan. The scan showed it had spread so he’s as been being transferred from our hospital to Christie’s for radiotherapy each day . He is now wearing a back brace .
on Christmas Eve at 8.30 pm they asked us to collect dad and bring him home ( which was nice to have him home ) but squashing him into a small polo car was horrendous.they told us he needs to go to Christie’s this Monday,Tuesday.Wednesday for more radium but no one knows the time, and how we are going to get him there. Iv tried ringing Christie’s and district nurse but no one can help .I need to ring Christie’s in the morning .it’s a nightmare.
