Hi there my names Anna and I lost my mum to vulva cancer 3 years ago it was very sudden with time of death just six weeks after diagnosed. Last year at the start of the pandemic my dad was taken into hospital as he had collapsed whilst out shopping , there he was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer , went through all the rounds of chemo and at last scan in January things were looking good and cancer seemed to have slowed however returned with a vegeance in April and had spread into his brain . My dad has been home for the passed few months with some hospital admissions in between . He recieves care at home but it's basic and minimal and not the care he needs . I feel I'm in an endless loop of phone calls with social work and care at home team with little response back, constantly trying to call the doctors surgery too and can never get through. Mcmillen are involved but have never seen them at the house yet . Does anyone else feel they have to seek out help by themselves and communication minimal from all the appropriate services .
