I am a concerned neighbour

My neighbour was diagnosed with lung cancer around a year ago she had radiotherapy and had scans and all was clear that’s great. She has found a lump in her boob about a month ago, she was in agony with it for a few weeks. Last week she went to get a biopsy scan and something else done, the doctors said wait 2 weeks to find out results and what not. Today I have seen her as she has asked if I have any ibuprofen and she has been so poorly since last night and all day her temperature has been all over the place and she has been in pain. I know her very well we’ve been close neighbours for the past 6 years I’m very concerned she won’t really let anyone help her she kind of just sits around in pain and listens to what she is told, surely there is something I can do to speak on her behalf I’ve told her I will and she always says she will get on to the hospital but I don’t know if she does and I don’t want to invade her privacy but I also feel like I have to to help her get help before it’s too late. Honestly I’m just looking for advise on if there is anything I can do to help her in any way.

  • Hi Zara,

    I am just dropping you an answer to say that the nurses on this forum, will not be online again until tomorrow.

    If you are really worried about the pain that your neighbour is in and her temp, you may want to see if she will let you ring 111 on her behalf as its a weekend.
