My 77 year old mum (fit and healthy until a few months ago) was diagnosed last week with stage 4 colon and secondary liver cancer. She is in hospital today having a biopsy and we meet oncologist next week for treatment plan.
Mum tried for months to see her GP with heavy legs, leg cramp, tiredness but he flatly refused to give her a face to face appointment. She had a clear FIT test on 24 May so no sign of bowel cancer and a blood test in Aug said borderline anemia and low vit D - but nothing was done about it - "no action needed"
4th sept she was sick in the night and then some bouts of diorherra and not eating and here we are now - palliative care and facing the end of her life.
I realise she didn't ahve the typical symptons of bowel cancer but wondering if anyone else had these heavy legs and cramps or nerve pain etc?
