I am so frustrated, angry, unable to sleep and it is taking all my time to stop myself crying and I am not the one with the diagnosis of cancer.  My mum was informed on 7 August that she had aggressive, invasive bladder cancer and the only way to get this would be with an RC and if operated it was a possible cure.  When asked how long we was informed she would have her op in 4 to 6 weeks.  We are now still waiting.

Just contacted admissions to be told extremely busy, unable to meet cancer waiting times and it could be end of October.  It makes me want to scream.  I know I am being selfish and others are going through what mum is but this is MY mum and whilst we are waiting the horrible cancer could be spreading and she will have then no hope.

I have contacted PALS over a number of things (errors in administration, they sent her for an apt to change her catheter - she doesnt have one and never has just one of the things, then attended an hours outpatient apt with stoma nurse for her to turn round and say no point attending as she doesnt have a surgery date lol) so I may have to contact them over the length of the wait.

SOrry to ramble but I need to vent.  Thank you for listening.
