Hello, my husband has been in hospital for 5 weeks. 5 weeks ago he was informed he had metastised spinal cord compression that had caused his paralysis. T9 and L4. He had radiotherapy in a different hospital 2 days later and was on steriods. They were doing a biopsy to locate primary cancer. Did it but the screwed up and didn't read the notes about weaning him off steriods so when results from biopsy came they said the steriods had affected it. He was then taken off steriods and now waiting for new biopsy. As he is now off steriods he is getting more pain in spine again. He is under hematology team as they think it's blood cancer so I called and asked what is the plan as there seems to be no plan. They are now going to do a PET SCAN some time. He was told by a doctor 4 weeks ago he was terminal, did he have his Will in place, cancer to aggressive and advanced  and they will not resuscitate if he goes in cardiac arrest. Buy that's it. No macmillian nurse been to see him, people on the ward he is on just want him to do physio. Some tell him you will be going home soon, others saying you will be here for a few months NOBODY HAS SAT US DOWN AND EXPLAINED HOW LONG HE HAS OR WHAT THE PLAN IS. David is getting very down as he feels like they ate just leaving him. Why has no one sat us down. Sorry about the rant but I am at my wits end worrying about david. Deep down I just have this awful feeling they are trying to get him out of the bed and home so he can die BUT he doesn't want to die at home.
