How does a woman feel when told "you may have Cancer"?
How does a woman feel if they are told "we cannot find where the cancer is"?
How do they then feel if they are told "we may remove your bowels, bladder and pelvic floor – but we still do not know where the cancer is"?
How does a woman feel if this was to take over six months at the end of which they say, "we need to do more tests"?
In the meantime a secondary cancer that has developed on the inner wall of the Vagina which was known about over three months and still remains untreated!!
How does a woman feel?…
Well it is my mother and i will tell you she feels let down, betrayed by the seemingly pointless cervical scan, betrayed by the doctor whom on tape said we will remove the vaginal cancer, we may cut or use drugs to treat it.
She feels that just because she is an older woman (only 60) she is being treated as a second class citizen.
She feels that she may not be the only Oxfordshire woman to feel this anxiety!!
She feels that she has no voice.
Are the doctors, having delayed treatment for six months, so perplexed that as a precaution "we'll take away all the abdominal organs" just in case they cannot pinpoint the primary cancer which I reiterate they have spent almost six months looking for!!
How can life go on with this in the back of your mind?
Can a forum like this help my mother to get some answers?
Where else should I , could I campaign?
Can you help?
My name is Russell Turner and my mother Marlyn Turner and many like her need to be treated sooner and better than they are. I am disgusted at the arrogance and dismissal tone of the doctors.
I look forward to your comments.
Kind regards
Russell
