Thank you for reading. My elderly, 80 years old, father was diagnosed with bowel cancer 2 years ago, he has had no treatment. 6 weeks ago he was sectioned for aggressive psychotic episode. This was completely out of the blue. Since being in the care of the psych ward he has had a CTI which came back negative. He has since had a "troubling" lesion removed from his tummy and a lump was found under his armpit. We have watched in horror as his mental state has gotten worse even with anti psychotic medication. He is a different man from before he started the meds. His psychiatrist has today said that she "definitely thinks this is something organic" and that it is an urgent situation and he needs an MRI. When pushed she admitted this could take up to two weeks. He has a cancer specialist and cancer nurse and I will contact them tomorrow. I am so worried that he should be in palliative care and that the antipsychotic meds and the psych ward environment is exasperating his condition. We are based in Scotland, we are at our wits ends and watching in horror as our sharp and clever dad wastes away before our eyes. How can we speed up the MRI and get him the correct care?
