I think I must start by apologising by being so negative about my current situation but I am at my wits end.
Anyone who has read my initial post would know that after I’d undergone surgery I received information from the oncologist that I feel, and that seems to be the general consensus of the specialist nurse from this charity that I spoke to, as well as the one from prostate cancer UK, I should have been made aware of prior to the decision making, and as it hadn’t it should be discussed with me at the earliest opportunity.
my conduit to the consultant is my Cancer specialist nurse who’s only response when I spoke to her initially was “you will be seeing the consultant in six weeks”, When I explained, I didn’t think that that was appropriate she responded well what do you want me to do?
On reflection, my response should’ve been treat me like a human at this very moment in time I am feeling worthless and dehumanised by her inability to understand what I am currently experiencing. Fear is a basic human emotion, but one that this woman does not seem to understand.
The purpose of this post is ask is anyone aware of whether it would be possible to have my care transferred to another trust. I know this is an extremely drastic measure, but I cannot continue to be treated like this
I was a nurse for a very long time and I know I and the majority of my colleagues would not leave a patient in despair. I have obviously upset this nurse, No idea how, our conversations have been very brief, But I must’ve done something, Why else would she behave like this?
If anyone from admin picks up on this post and think it’s inappropriate, then please let me know. I Will be happy to delete it if it is found to be offensive in any way, and if that is possible.
