Hi Janie52 I am so sorry to hear about your mum. I have to say that I am not surprised, particularly about the doctor not coming to see your mum. When my mum came out of hospital - she is still lingering with pancreatic cancer which has spread to her lung and spine - the hospital didn't send the discharge letter to the doctor so when I had to call the doctor in to see her the GP who came was unaware of my mother's diagnosis. A few days later I was sorting out mum's Attendance Allowance and had to get the doctor to sign a form. The GP who looked at the form said she only did them when the patient had cancer......I then had to provide a copy of the discharge letter to them myself. Mum did have carers coming in but The District Nurses didn't come one the scene for weeks. The Macmillan Nurses came a few times and they helped get things moving. I am at the moment writing to my MP to highlight the failures in my mother's care and maybe you should think about doing the same but don't let it get in the way of grieving for your mother. Both are important and if you think it will help you find peace do it now. Otherwise you can do it later. My mum continues to linger. I know it is no concilation at the moment but if it happened that quickly then your mum didn't suffer as much as she could have. Having watched my father die of breast cancer and now watching my mum die of pancreatic cancer I can assure you cancer be it pancreatic cancer or another cancer that has spread there it is 3 times worse for the sufferer. Your mum is at peace, try and take comfort from that. Best wishes, Malcolm.
