where do we go from here

Hi this is the first time I have posted anything, so here goes, this is about my lovely mum who had bowel cancer 8 years ago , and unfortunately it returned so she now has colon rectal + liver cancer we know it is not curable but at the moment nothing is being done she does not see her oncologist until mid Jan ,she is very tired all the time so last week had a blood transfusion. Our main concern is that the tumours she has will continue to grow without treatment of any kind and obviously shorten the time she has with us .So we need to find out what could be offered to her .we want her with us as long as possible

  • Hi,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat although I am so sorry to read about your mother. That does seem a very long time wait to see her oncologist. I would push to see if he can see her earlier for I'm sure under hospital waiting times, you shouldnt have to wait that long. It is a worrying time for everyone when nothing is being done. Sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way, Brian.
