Kidney cancer

Hi all, I'm looking after my mum while she recovers from having her kidney removed on Thursday. She is really struggling giving herself her anticoagulant jabs. The GP says nurses won't come out to give her them, she has to have 1 every day for 28 days, and I'm needle phobic. Does anyone have any advice on who could do this for mum? 

  • Hi Weezer28,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope your mum is getting on OK, although I'm sorry you are struggling with the jabs.

    Perhaps another family member, friend, or neighbour could help with this? Hopefully since posting here you have been able to get some assistance with this.

    I can see you have also posted in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum and received a response from one of our nurses, so I hope that has been helpful.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
