I mentioned the other day that my mum was admitted to hospital because she was struggling to catch her breath. She has metastatic bladder cancer in her lungs.
Turned out to be a blood clot (actually Happy it was this and not the cancer!) which she is being treated for in hospital and seems to be doing a little better. On Friday, because they had to do a ct scan on her lungs anyway for the clot, they happened to mention that her lung “Mets” looked quite stable. Yay!
Then today my sister said when the doctors did their rounds they casually mentioned something about her having a tumour in her pelvis?!? What.?!? Oh man!!!! :(
We didn’t want to pick them up on this in front of mum given everything else that’s going on so I guess that’s a question for our oncologist.
does anyone else struggle with the interaction with doctors etc? Some of them are great, but some are so abrupt and matter of fact in the way they deliver messages it’s reallh upsetting
so I’ve gone from the “high” on Friday of the chemo working and mum’s cancer looking stable to an unexpected pelvic tumour that’s come out of nowhere!!!
cancer is such a pain in the *** I have never felt such extreme highs and lows since mum wasn’t diagnosed 2 years ago
Just needed a rant tonight. Thanks for listening. Good wishes to everyone else who may be struggling a little this week ️
