Thanks AW. I think when a loved one is ill you live with guilt. I keep feeling that there is something else I should be doing to get him help and this isn't how it should be is it?

I'm with you on that one Jay. Matron ruled the ward with a rod of iron but by god did the patients get good care!

OMFG the National Health Service are idiots, how the hell do they expect someone to wait all weekend to see a doctor. Also the hospitals are a joke, last time I was in hospital they managed to give me a damn super bug that extended my illness by around three weeks! This was after they left me sitting in A&E for around 2 hours with a numa thorax hardly able to breath. Then seemed all pleased with them selves that they diagnosed it, when the bubbles under my skin around my collar bone could be seen in a mirror so yeah great job NHS.

I hope that they do get to the bottom of OG's problem and get him sorted soon.

Always on my mind

Ashley

What in the world is going on with you and OG? I just went skipping through my blogrole because I hadn't seen anything new pop up and I find this! I fear I've left you neglected and this situation does not sound good to me at all! Listen, you know the old saw, the squeaky wheel gets the grease? You call those people at the hospital till they know who you are by your first words! Don't let them put you off. In the mean time I'm putting you both on our prayer list...
hugs

Oh gosh, I've not been reading much lately and now I see you're going through some heavy stuff at the moment aren't you. It really does come down to close family and friends to be a patient's advocate - the NHS is so stretched that you really have to fight for what you need. Wish you luck.

I see what you mean. I'm glad your oncologist...

2009-11-03T17:42:09.227Z

I see what you mean. I'm glad your oncologist is so nice and helpful, especially as so many seem to get dismissive as their patients age.

Bring back Matron, that's what I say!

By the way I have left an award for you.

You must be so worried, particularly as you don't seem to be even getting a diagnosis. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I hate to think how OG would be if you weren't battling for him, R&C. Keep it up, whatever the cost - it's for a good man.

A person who is so unwell has enough to cope with and it is all wrong that there should have to be such an awful battle at the same time.

Thank goodness the oncologist is on your side.

2009-10-31T18:46:50.488Z

My thinking Jay is that if the oncologist can't get anyone to think about this, what chance have I got. I know that sounds defeatist but believe me I'm not. The oncologist is at the top of his field and is a really, really, really nice guy. He has given us his home number if we ever get worried, but I don't like to take advantage.

I'm convinced that it's the system that is radically wrong at the moment. We need to strip it all back and start from the beginning again putting the patient first. They need to stop talking about "patient experience" and revisit "patient care" again!

Oh gosh, that must be so hard for you both. I hop...

2009-10-31T18:13:06.807Z

Oh gosh, that must be so hard for you both. I hope you get some help on Monday.

I would keep ringing. My Mum always said if you don't get to speak to who you need to speak to, or if you don't get appointments in a timely manner, you should ring the hospital almoner - IF they still have such an office. Might be worth a try anyway. Good luck!

ME is one of the things that has been considered, along with his diabetes, but from what I understand the acuteness and speed of the onslaught would be quite unusual for those two conditions Maggie. It really is a mystery and the big C always lurkes in the background!

2009-10-31T15:00:10.618Z

Oh my...... you are both going through it.
So sorry.

My family know of at least 2 cases of ME that produce extreme symptoms and one gets paralysed regularly. You really do need to know what you are dealing with.
It wasn't that long ago that OG was on roller skates going at breakneck speed down your road!

Keep bothering the hospital Seems that the ones that shout the most get the most.
Hoping all works out well for you both. Thinking of you.

Nuts in May
