Thank you for prayers for Garry.

I just want to thank everybody for their advice, good wishes and prayers regarding the post I did a couple of days ago about my son Garry’s 2nd cancer diagnosis. I seem to have deleted it in error. I was trying to edit it as per a post I saw about who could view it, and tired and stressed as I am, managed to delete it. The trips everyday to the hospital is 5 hours round trip and parking in London hospitals are very limited. My husband doing remarkable well though getting us there and parked. Only a few more pallative radiotherapy sessions left and then hopefully we can all have a few days resting. Once again thank you all, I cried reading them knowing there is always somebody to listen. The most distressing part is that in July he had a scan and radiographer reported and we were told all was ok, only to find that 4 months later when he had another scan that the first words out on the surgeons mouth was “ why did you not deal with it 4 months ago”? Was also told that this cancer was operable on the first scan. I feel so cheated at this, as this lack of reporting correctly what was shown on the scan,means that now the cancer has spread and it is inoperable it will cost my son his life now. No apologies even from anybody at hospital! Just told Protocol’s will change and it won’t happen again! Too late for my son! Feeling depressed,and so very very sad.

I just wanted to reach out. No words are adequate. I don't know what to say save for I'm so sorry. The fact that the doctors missed this 4 months ago is absolutely horrid. I cannot imagine your pain. I'm so sorry.

This is terrible Linda I am so sorry, my heart goes out to you.

Surely this is negligence and when you are strong enough you will have grounds for a formal complaint.

Dear Heart, ......as a mother, I understand the primal grief you must be experiencing.

I lost my son a year ago, and there are no words that express the magnitude of sorrow.

Please know we are here, and will continue to send our prayers to you and your family.

🙏🏽

I am so sorry that you too have had to endure this terrible nightmare. I have to remain strong to get him through this as he lives with me and has cognitive problems too, and needs a lot of support right now. As you know it is so hard. Take care also, as I am sure the grief never ends.

To say this is tragic isn't enough. Total incompetence and a travesty. It's impossible to imagine the host of emotions you and your family are feeling. My heart goes out to all of you.

Cannot imagine what you are going through Linda. Sending all my love to you and your family. When you feel strong enough I would put in a complaint, it is negligence I'm sure. I think you have upto 3 years after. I know that this is the last thing on your mind at the minute. But don't let them get away with it. xxxx

Oh Linda how awful to find this out on top of everything else. You must justifiably be very very angry and let down. Maybe you might want to “park” that for the time being and put all your energy and care into Garry’s situation at the moment. Do look after yourself as well- that’s a top priority. Come back to the “parked” bit when you have the time, energy and opportunity. Keep us posted. Keeping you in my prayers. Much love xx

So very sorry.

Please take care , you and your family are in my prayers .

When you want any advice or help with what you need to deal with in the future , I am sure there are many here who could guide to the right health advocates to deal with your obvious case of neglect of care.

But in the meantime , it is all about concentrating on your son , your selves and getting the most happiness out of the small spaces of time between therapy.

And for that we are all sending you what strength we can share to help get you through the day.

My love , Bee xx
