Hi I have just joined and hoping to get some support for myself and my mum.after having to leave her partner of 11 years  in February due to his family telling mum to leave and that they would look after him. She moved back to our hometown to be near us her children. She lives with my brother and his young family. Well things had not been right with mum since april.mum already has a stoma due to burst bowel and sepsis. She was having problems with discharge we tried on several occasions for the doctor to see her but couldn't because of covid. Well Nov I had enough and wrote to the hospital myself explaining about mum. She was rushed through for urgent scope CT MRI and biopsy. 4 days before Xmas we were told the terrible need mum has anal cancer. Mum started her ch mo and radiotherapy on Monday and she will be having treatment for 5 1/2 weeks. Mum is living with me since her diagnosis as it was a bit to much for my brother to take in after losing his wife to breast cancer.
