Good evening all
I hope you don't all mind me reaching out I am currently in a very bad way I have nobody to talk to I have a daughter of 17 but I have been told I am not allowed to tell her because she has her own problems :anorexia and mental health) thank you for reading, my mum is 71 last year she went to see a specialist as she kept going dizzy and having heart pulpatations the private specialist told my mum he would run a few tests, full bloods were also taken, she was advised that the dizzy spells could be linked to a neck injury for about 15 years ago and the heart is because she is so slim she can feel It in her chest, next she was advised she had enlarged red blood cells and low calcium levels but they was not concerned, in June 2024 they said that they will keep a eye on her platlets and monitor her however 3 times my mum booked they cancelled, she tried so hard to get an appointment with no luck, roll on to June 2025 mum complains she has a pain in her elbow and knee, we send her to the doctors this week for a xray, today a call from the GP says on the Xray they could see what look likes holes in the bone, now when my mum was in her 30 she struggled with authritus so we had all assumed it could be this however today the doctor said they want to refer her for bloods and urine to rule out bone cancer :(
They have advised my mum she needs to wait 2 weeks for an appointment to see a cancer specialist
I am just so confused with what is going on :(
