Hi,
Have never posted on anything like this before but I just am looking for a bit of guidance as unsure what to do.
my gran is 85, she had breast cancer 15 years ago and since Christmas last year she hasn't been feeling very well she's been back and forward at doctors for months had chest X-rays loads of bloods different medications etc etc but within the last 4 weeks has drastically gone down hill and has been really unwell it's been very difficult due to lock down as we haven't been able to get in to see her but have spoken to her every day and got to the point where we phoned the doctors and said they needed to do something so they eventually admitted her to hospital into the covid ward we didn't really think it was the Conorovirus as my gran hadn't left the house since lock down and no one had been in etc but they seemed to think it might have been that due to her symptoms, she was tested and it was negative so they moved her wards and she was put onto fluids and drips etc and seemed to improve a bit.
They said they would do ct scan and if clear she would get home, ct scan was done Thursday and yesterday they phoned and said they had found several noduals in the chest, lungs and liver along with a lot of other smaller lumps and grey areas. We obviously haven't been allowed into the hospital and my gran is hard of hearing and a bit confused so we're not really sure exactly what is going on. My gran has refused any treatment and has refused Mri scan also so she was allowed to come home yesterday. We've had note from doctor explaining they found noduals on chest, liver and lungs etc but no one has really explained what exactly it is but we are guessing cancer and not good I've been googling everything and thinking it sounds like metastatic breast cancer?
Cab anyone give us any advice as to what to expect and how long we have with my gran? She's back home and seems in relatively good spirits but has said she doesn't want to know what it is and what will be will be which we fully respect but just from me and my families point of view we would like to know what we're looking at so we can care for her the best we can.
sorry this is a bit of a rambling post all still a bit raw to be honest.
Thanks in advance
Hayley
