My lovely mum

My mum had half of her left lung removed in may 17 after three rounds of cemo that shrunk her large tumour. She was cancer free after and we was elated. She had a routine check ups and was fine at hosp on 4th nov 17 had all clear by her consultant. This was mentioned to consultant .she was signed off for six months . However after her pain in her  left side was getting worse over five to six weeks going backwards and forwards to go had to take her to a and e. We learnt just today her cancer in left lung has come back. We are devastated. We now face a second journey and hope after head scan tomorrow will prob have more cemo or radio. We asked doctors today why she only had a X-ray on the 4th and why don’t they do a scan also as it was only picked up than this sat just gone. We feel like sometimes things are missed they should listen to patients more they know how they feel. We just wish we took my mum earlier and made them listen more

 

 

 

  • Hi there ... so sorry to hear bout your journey...  there's always times we wish we could go back, and change things but even the strongest of us feel there's times someone's just not listening ... I've still got a little hole in my mastectomy scar, that slowly leaks and I have to put a cotton pad there .. I've told every professional that it's not right, but they just say to leave it .. they say it's better to come out , but like milk without a top, it curdles and I'm tempted to super glue it ... well like you, I have to go along with what they say .... and im quite tough, but nothing more I can do ... I hope your mum gets over this again ... my thoughts are with you ... take care and big hug to your mum and you ... chrisie xx
