6 years ago my mum was diagnosed with gallstones, told by  hospital they wouldn’t take her gallbladder out unless it was a life or death situation because of her COPD. My mum never once complained to the GP or hospital ever again. for for 6 years my mum put up with gall stone flare ups rolling around in agony.  Sept She had a flare up, suffering with jaundice, we got her to A&E. They put stents into her bile duct (which was meant to be changed every 3 months for the rest of her life) which got infected, 3 wks later new stents, which got infected. Every time she went in hospital the doctors kept telling her we think you have cancer. 3 wks later on 10th December she had an over 7 hr operation. They took the stones out of her gallbladder, 4cm stone out of her gall duct, a 4cm tumour out of her gallbladder, the stents out and the rim of her liver. I was told she had gallbladder cancer that had spread. They would have had to take out all her gall bladder, a piece of her stomach, a piece of her lower bowel, a piece of her Pancras, and 40% of her liver. On an 80 year old she wouldn’t survey the operation.Every morning the doctors would come around, scare the living day lights out of her and say things like “have you got use to the idea your dying yet?” she kept going down with infections, the day before she came out of hospital, a doctor told my mum she will never get better, she will never get chemo, she is just coming home to die. The doctors had scared her so much she was in a deep depression, the idea of chemo gave her the will to get better when the encologist from another hospital phoned her. Her stomach took 4 months to heal being 80 years old. Just as she was about to start chemo, her cancer was so small oncologist said they must be clusters and cells, so small they wasn’t showing up on the CT scan, but her CT scan showed she had inflmation, her blood showed she had an infection. 2 weeks later she ended up in A&E cholecystitis, CT scan showed no progression in her cancer, 3 weeks later back in hospital blood test, cholecystitis, A&E student doctor told me they wouldn’t do any operations or procedures on her now as it would set her back with starting the cancer treatment, sent home with rotating antibiotics. Discharge letter states walls of bile duct thickened with fat strands, infection secondary to obstruction. My mum was put on rotating antibiotics. 4 weeks later back in A&E she was dialogised with Sepsis, secondary to cholecystitis. They did a ultra sound scan in the ward, The same student doctor in a&e told me my mum will be put on rotating antibiotics, their expecting her to get infections until either the infection kills her or the medication gives her liver failure, that she only has a few months to live. The antibiotics are buying her time, and so is each infection, that I should be greatful they gave her an operation to buy her time. That if she died while on chemo it would be better for her, because chemo is so bad, and it would stop her suffering. she also said they thought my mum might have an absis, that they might have to drain it. Then a CT scan before admitting her, student doctor came down to a&e came down said that to the untrained eye my mum dont have an absis.  a MIR scan was performed a couple of days later. Every time a doctor came down they said something different, one saying she can have chemo, next saying no she can't, one came down saying they can do stents so she can have chemo, another said they could put a camera down the bile duct. That same day they had the big meeting where all the doctors discuss the patience. After the meeting doctors spoke to my mum and said she is now on palliative care, no operations, no procedures. Oh and suddenly she has a tumour that has grown from her liver towards her bile duct causing her obstruction, strange it wasn’t there before when she was having this problem. The doctor said we are surgeons, don't waste our time the best place for her is a hospice.  She will be kept on rotating antibiotics for the rest of her life. Told us to keep our next appointment with st.  Christophers to discuss her end of life plan. My mums review for her cancer at the cancer centre was 8th of July, now they'ved moved it back to the 12th, a phone call.  The hospital doctors have bullied mine and my mums hope out of us after they did my mums operation which they didn't want to do in the first place, they had no intention of helping her.  My mum wants to fight it with chemo but I don't think she will get the chance because of those doctors, she already has the welts that is making her skin itch.  Her time is running out and I am so scared.
