abnormal, I asked what this meant and was told that after she saw the
doctor she would most likely need to go to the hospital. I said I would be
there the next day with my mother. on the 10/06/2014 we went to the see
her GP and they wrote a letter and made a call to the North Middlesex
Hospital to say we was coming there right away.
We got to A&E and they done more blood test and x-rays by the time this
was all done and the test was back it was too late for them to do a CT.
they wanted to keep my mother in hospital, but she really did not like
hospitals so it was agreed to allow her to come home and for us to be at
the hospital at 09:00 on the 11/06/2014 to have the CT done we was told
we would be at the hospital all day as they wanted the results of the CT
before we left the doctors was still saying it could be her gallbladder but
her liver was very enlarged which could be due to the gallbladder.

22,
On the 11/06/2014 we went to the hospital for 09:00 and she had the CT
at around 09:30 I saw Dr steel come onto the day unit around 12:00 and
went into a room, I knew there was something wrong and I believe so did
my mother as she said he had been in there a long time. I said maybe he
had come out and we had not seen him to try and stop her worrying. at
around 15;45 Dr Steel came out of the room and walked towards us and
asked us to come into the room.
We were told the news that the breast cancer had metastasis, I asked how
many growths and he could not say, he said that the oncologist doctor and
nurse was on the way down to see us. The doctor a nurse came to see us I
again asked how bad it was had many growths was in the liver the doctor
told us that it was severe, and it was in the spine and ribs. That they were
trying to book a CT biopsy and bone scan, this would be for the next day
or the Monday. I broke down at the news how could this have been
missed.
My mum was put on a lot of tablets to try and bring the enlarged liver
down; she did not want to stay in hospital.
When we left the hospital, I went to my sisters to tell her the news she
knew by my face it was bad when she opened the door. That day the
family was all told.
We were all up and down the hospital a great deal from this point, the
doctors gave my mother 6 to 12 months without treatment and 18+ with
treatment. but there was still a huge problem as they wanted to treat her
with chemo, which they had not done in 2011 due to her being on
Clozapine both drugs have an effect on the white blood cells. I asked how
they could treat with chemo now but could not do this in 2011 they never
replied to that. They said they were going try a very low dose of chemo
which I would have to give daily for 2 weeks then I would give white
blood cell injections the 3rd week when she was not on the chemo tablets
and at the start of each session she would have to go to the chemo day
unit and have the a drip due to it being HER2.
