Bladder cancer

My mother has bladder cancer but has got worse this week with she can't swallow her antibiotics for urine infection she has a catheter I'm waiting for the doctor to ring and I'm usually up thru the night emptying the bag but she's slowing down weeing by the looks of it as I've not had to empty thru the night and it's hard to wake her now and sometimes her eyes are not fully shut they are slightly open I'm worried her  body is shutting down now I keep  crying mum is 90

  • Hi Bellally

    Whilst it is good the doctor is calling later, if you are very worried about your mum's condition and she is getting worse do try and get someone sooner.

    You haven't said but I am wondering if your mum has a palliative care nurse/community nurse that you can also call on to come out and see your mum.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
