My dear mum (72) went in to hospital last Thursday with stomach pain and has now been told she has a 15cm mass in her abdomen and pockets of fluid. They have been unable to determine what the mass is connected to via a ctscan or vaginal ultrasound. They did a biopsy of the fluid yesterday and are hoping for results tomorrow. Help is needed as she just seems to be getting worse and they are not treating her right or well (I don’t know the word to use). Every day I go back in there she has a new tube going in or out and they are not controlling her pain or nausea and it’s just frustrating. She has gone from having what they thought was IBD to having 24/7 oxygen, iv fluids, nasal/gastric tube, and today she got a catheter. She can not swallow anything and when they try giving her the liquid food she vomits. She is in pain and they are not managing it. The nurses also say her heart is now irregular and a small part of her lower long is slightly collapsed. Why is she not in a higher care ward with more monitors and frequent checks. I am scared she is going to die whenever I leave her. Why are they doing nothing about the cancer itself and still struggling to manage her pain and nausea. She can not afford to lose anymore weight. Can anyone offer any helpful advice? Thanks ... View more
