Good evening all

 

I really do hope someone can help me as going out of my mind, worried, can't concentrate, but doing everything I can for my mum as well as looking after my own family

 

My mum has terminally cancer spread to bones lungs and liver been unwell for nearly 3 weeks was in hospital no one knew what was wrong she came home and hasn't improved much some days better then others cancer is stable they are happy with that but liver is upset don't know why but then mcmillian nurse rang sending my mum over to the hospice and don't know why just left in the dark no contact to ring to see for myself why etc would oncologist or mcmillian nurse be able to tell my mum and be up front that she is very poorly and the worse??

 

any one been through this can give advice etc please

I'm sorry and thank you for taking the time to read

    Hi love, what a horrible situation to be left in limbo.  Have you got the phone number of the McMillan nurse, if you have then call and speak to them.  Or call the hospice and tell them who you are and ask to speak to someone who is caring for Mum.  Hospices can care for Cancer patients and she probably needs proper help as its all too much to cope with in your own.  The Moderators on this site may help you more and I'm sure one will be able to reply soon.  Hopefully this helps you a little bit.  Carol

    Thank you so much for responding

    I'm just lost, confused, does this mean that's it, how do I help but be really positive around her what can I do?

    This is the thing no number to mcmillian nurse caring for her as she never got round to sending my mum her details etc and as she has only just been referred today to the hospice I can not even phone them and ask what's the situation can you be honest with me I'm just in black cloud but thank you so much

    If you have Mums hospital details call them tomorrow ans ask for the phone number of her nurse. Explain what has happened and then call her. The are very busy so leave a name and number to call back but make sure to say who you are and Mums name. I can't help with how I'll Mum is but they want ll be honest with you. Take care and try to get some rest. Carol
