Hi all, i am very nervous to be doing this. I lost my mum on the 11th Feb 2018. 3 weeks and 3 days of being diagnosed with CUP (Cancer of Unknown Primary) I feel her GP has let her down gratley. Mum was unwell from October 2017, but 2 GP's dismissed her. She was taken to A&E with bad chest pains and they kept her in for 2 weeks. My poor mum was only a young 68, her birthday is next tuesday. She had been treated appalingly at the hospital. She begged and pleaded for a biopsy to be done on a lump on her head as she was in so much pain. Mum had blacked out because of the pain. Still Dr's ignored. Even at the end no one looked at the lump on her head. My husband and i have been trying for a baby unsuccesfully for over 5 years and 2 years ago we have our little treasure. My mum adored him and him her. I am heart breaking he has no more time with him. i am lucky to have had 39 but still feel robbed at how quick mum deterioated. My was discharged in my care and here she stayed with our little family. She slipped away with me holding her. The death rattle still haunts me to this day and I struggle to sleep and accept she has gone. I lost my dad 15 years so just me and a brother who lives 10 hours drive. I have visited mum at the chapel of rest 3 times, i know its her shell and her memories live on in my heart and head. But i dont understand how this has taken her so quickly, before she could start treatment. I dont feel as though i can mend from losing her. Apart from sorting her finances and going to her house i dont want to go out. Her funeral is soon and i dont know how i am going to manage. Cancer is Cruel!!!!!!
