Good evening,
I am looking for anyone to speak to. My dad was diagnosed of rectal cancer back in April which has spread to his liver, bones and abdomen. He battled with his surgery for 4 months saying something wasn't right along with all the issues he was having and it took 4 months for the Dr to send him for a scan when he was then diagnosed. He was unable to have chemo due to a faulty gene and it was 70% risk of making him really unwell or worse. That has now gone down to 50% and he was offered chemo. Unfortunately he took a turn for the worse and has now been given weeks/short months to live. With a letter saying had this have been picked up earlier and they started chemo early on we would likely be looking at a different story. I am absolutely distraught and really feel he has been let down by the his surgery and Drs this is not something I say lightly working for the NHS myself. I am sure my anger is part of the emotions I am going through. My heart just breaks for him, he is only 59 and I pray he is one of the lucky ones.
