Hello
Not sure where to start but ill try and explain.
4 weeks ago my 82 fit healthy dad thought he might of had a stroke due to balance problems.
Mum called gp who said it sounds unlikely and see how it goes. 2 weeks later same happened so gp sent to a and e where he was dianosed with a stroke. Also had a chest xray which showed a legion.
Sent home after 2 days with appointment for scans in around 6 weeks. And highdose asprin.
Anyway he found sometimes in bed he had very uncomfortable backpain so on saturday morning he went to a and e for pain relief was given co codomol and sent home with a letter saying about stroke and lung legion.
Come satirday even he had a wash and was sitting on bed and slipped off, told mum he thought he had had another stroke so mum called ambulance. They comfirmed posible stroke and took him back to a and e.
Was put on stroke ward and dr said scan showed a stroke and signs of a previous stroke and he was having a seizure due to the stroke.
Come tuesday mum called ward to see how he was doing as he doeant hear to well on the phone.
Who ever answered phone said oh no its not a stroke its a tumor on the brain. Obviously mum very upset and they said dr would call.
Call from junior dr who said he has lung cancer in brain lung and liver and 2 months to live. She asked if he had had a stroke and dr said he didnt know.
Another dr went to see him yesterday and told him he has 6 to 8 weeks to live and there woudl be a meeting today. He called mum and also asked dr to call her but no one has.
We are litrally lost apart from a bite of numbness he hasnt got a single symptom. He cooks walks dog and is a very keen gardener.
Anyone got any advice.
