My mother passed away on August the 30th 2019. Me and my family feel so let down by the hospital , I followed the rules of the chemo card that we were given on the signs of what chemo can do , on the day before my mother passed away I phoned the cancer Ward saying she was breathless,diahrea and the feeling of a cold on her chest and they told us to go down to our local GP , I took her and they pulled her off the blood pressure tablets cause my mother blood pressure was very low, during her visit to the GP she was very breathless. Next morning at 9:30am my mother passed away at home with me and my father there, as the cancer Ward asked her to come in straight away that morning but it was to late she died from a blood clot to the lung , why didn't I overrule the cancer Ward and GP , I knew she wasn't her self and it was her last chemo before a break . The chemo was working as there was no cancer on the lung the postmortem said so it was controlling it. People need to be aware of what chemotherapy can do and nurses need to talk to the carer of the patient if patient is unwell enough to talk . My mother should still be here , I'm so lost without her xxx. My mother won't be put down as a cancer patient death it will be as a blood clot, how many people have died because of chemotherapy unknown I suppose , cancer kills more than the government say. Chemotherapy side effects should be pumped into carers and family more to see the signs of when there is something wrong , patients and family know better than nurses and doctors when there is something wrong , better safe than sorry , to late for my mother ️ ️ ️
