Hi, my husband had a melanoma cancer which started in his big toe, under the toenail. The cancer spread to the lymph nodes in the groin and these were duly removed, as was half of the toe. Following a delayed C.T. scan, I can only assume the delay was due to Covid, it was discovered that my husband had a nodule on the lung which turned out to be the melanoma again. No treatment was given , apart from the removal of the nodule on the lung. The cancer specialist had signed my husband off prior to this. The nodule was removed and it was confirmed that,yes it was the melanoma. He then had another C.T. scan, and it was discovered that the melanoma was now in both lungs. This morning, we received a letter for a telephone consultation for next Friday. My husband needs treatment, not a chat over the phone, can they refuse treatment because of Covid and why was he signed off at a crucial time. I am thinking of suing the hospital for neglect of duty of care, in this case, I am fuming......and feel badly let down..
