Hello I popped up a few weeks ago with a general chat about dad and his prostate cancer
Urology rang me today they have his latest results from his ct scan but she said usually they like to give them in person , we no it’s spread to his hip and his spine that was just via his xray , but he went and had his ct with contrast 2 weeks ago
I’ve got a massive problem though my dads been awful and won’t answer his phone , they won’t give me the results even though I can speak on his behalf , he’s being so hard work and I honestly have begged him to answer if they ring but he won’t , it’s becoming such hard work and making me feel depressed, they said to me he needs to go for a mri and a discussion with his consultant about what is next and they want to look at his spine as he is in pain and they need to check for spinal compression
I’m just in limbo because he’s being so private and nasty to me and I’m doing all I can
he had his blood psa test last week they have come back and are under review his last score was 135 I can’t believe how much he has declined honestly it’s so hard to see from the man he was , he’s lost a lot of weight but apparently doesn’t need ensure drinks ( work that out ) I’ve had a go out to him and they said he is clinically fit just needs to attend these next appointments
someone please tell me how I’m going to get my frail dad to these appointments 4 weeks ago he went for his ct scan with patient transport but he’s declined since then
I’ve actually just been in his home and his phone is ringing and he’s saying it’s eon but I’ve got a feeling it’s the hospital waiting to make this appointment! I’ve told the lovely lady Jo that I’m having such a nightmare with it all I want him to get better but how can he when he’s just sat in bed getting weaker and weaker
