My wife is 68, walked through chemo at one Hospital. Ten days of radiotherapy at another hospital, she is DESTROYED. Cannot eat, hardly swallow, she is a shaddow of herself. We are talking stage 4 lung cancer. And the aftercare? There is NONE, absolutely none. I rang up to ask for advice, "we cannot speak to you without the authority of the patient" who is in bed, ill and is deteriorating fast. I gave them the patient reference number, who else but some close would have that?. How incredibly ridiculous. Rang NHS direct..zero..Rang Macmillan...zero...Local doctor has visited, we have some medication but. I am worried. They are already planning her next round of treatment ( torture) on the 27th. Immunotherapy. I can't see her being fit for that. I cannot see anything for the 27 of this month, at the moment.
Can any help with some glimmer of hope that this situation, after effects of radiotherapy, reflux problem, cannot eat or swallow, may have some light at the end of what looks like...a very very dark tunnel.
