That's not fair is it having had that happen!

Yes my father was fobbed off for many years and he had cancer that was diagnosed at stage 4 and incurable back in November 2018 and died last April.

Dear Canabeans,

I really am at a loss at what to say. I have read posts and news articles about the state of affairs with regards to the health service in the U.K., I also have a friend who is end of life who has been totally abandoned by his GP. As an outsider looking in I really cannot understand what has happened. Maybe I don't know enough about how things run over there but it seems appallingly negligent to me. I wish I had something to say that could make things better for you and your husband. All I know is, for the most part, we live for today and we try to keep hope for tomorrow. Please do let us know how things go.

Cas xx 🍀

So sorry to read what has happened to your husband, Canabeans. No wonder you are both upset. Hoping that now the medics have found it, they can treat and resolve it.

So sorry there have been such lacks in the care of your husband. I hope that the radiotherapy and steroids are effective in helping to treat the new condition xx

I guess these new growths are inoperable. I had a similar situation with my young brother 10 years ago he had just cleared five years clear of Colon cancer, he then had a heart operation, only to be floored by the brain metastis some months later.He too had radiotherapy, which effected his memory so badly, but hopefully the treatments will be more advanced now. All I can say is make sure you keep up with everything the docs are doing.

[Canabeans in reply to maggiewhiteley]

We went to see them yesterday they said he isn't strong enough for the radiotherapy yet and they said it can often make things worse for the patient, in other words it's all too late which shows he wasnt being monitored enough he was getting symptoms months ago yet no one has done any blood tests etc or scans until it's all too late xxx
