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
new 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 was 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 new by my
face it was bad when she opened the door. That day the family was all told.
We was 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 could they 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 gave 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.
The problem was they gave her an overdose of the chemo tablets and I did not know.
so I should have been giving her 500mg X two times a day I was giving my mother
1500mg x two times a day.
My mum went down hill very fast from when the 1st session started, when she had
her next appointment before the 2nd session was due to start my mother looked very
ill and was not eating or drinking. The doctor even said how ill she looked but carry
