Hi Firefighter. 

Sometimes you have to chase everything up or nothing is done.. I should have had an oncologist appointment end of last year. My wife was not very well and concentrating on her, when i realised it was February and not herd anything so phoned up told Dr had left so new one still sorting patients out, got appointment next day in afternoon so in morning had to get blood tests done and hope results in. Three months later still nothing again so get blood tests done then phone up appointment next day again luckily blood results in, unluckily cancer decided to bite. So scans and blood tests again. 

Everything done and waiting decided to phone up find things out appointment arranged September so i say could i be pushed in this month with it just being results they say they will get back to me going to get results week on Friday, so it pays to phone up and push them a bit. Good luck with your mother, please keep on at them to get things going again..

Hello I agree with Billygoat you have to push push and even complain.

I.havr stage 4 breast cancer I have lymphoedema in my right arm which hurts.I was referred to a specialist clinic since January I got finally appt for March!!!!One week before appt they cancelled it because of Covid.So I called my nurse she said she will find out if i can go to a different hospital.Well the lazy woman - my nurse she never called back.So i am still suffering and loosing mobility in my arm.In June I wrote a complain letter about the uncaring attitude of my nurse and doctor because my onco told.me that clinic will never open again!!!!!But they didnt bother to let me know.And guess what after the letter I got a phone call from another hospital and I finally can get sorted my arm this Monday.Its disquisting how the cancer patients beeing dumped.

So you have to fight for your mum.
