ive spent £5k on private MRI, PET CT scans and now being told need to get a biopsy.
The real worry at the moment is my mum has a tumour on her spine and it the primary tumour, but it’s causing my mum to lose the power and mobility in her hands. I’m terrified that in addition to cancer my mum is going to end up disabled.
Hi Susanne , sorry to ask but just wondering how your mum is getting on I’m in the same situation with my nan (age 73) went in hospital with upset stomach to now be told she has secondary lung cancer which is also in her spine, we don’t know what stage as of yet but my nerves are gone :(x
My mum has been admitted to the Royal London Hospital as a few of her vertebrae have now collapsed due to the tumour. Oncology are still conducted investigation to find the primary tumour, surgical to stabilise the spine was supposed to happen yesterday but an MRI was done and surgery cancelled. No idea why I’m waiting on an update from hospital.
Oh no sorry to hear, she is still under the Assesment medical unit in Aintree Hospital as she also has gastroenteritis so they are still giving IV drips to get her fluids back up, she had another MRI scan but still no news on the prognosis, we haven’t been advised on anything else yet but 24 hours seems to be feeling like months at the minute living a real life nightmare
I can totally empathise with how you are feeling!!! I wake up each day n think what will today hold and how do I navigate through the various NHS departments to try and progress things.
it’s certainly a test of mental endurance!! I now have a note book to record questions I have and answers I get, also recording a timeline on what happens each day so I know exactly what has been performed etc
