My dad sadly passed away last week after being told 8 days previously that his previously controlled prostate cancer had spread to his liver, lungs and his skull. He fell asleep 2’days after this bombshell and never really woke up. He was only admitted to the hospice to sort his meds out, or so we naively thought. We had to fight to get him seen to and I’m so angry.
Thanks for allowing me to rant

Hi Sara, I am so sorry for your loss. You have every right to have a rant and be angry, it has only been a week, and anger is what many people feel in the early days of grief, especially when they feel they have been failed by health professionals, as you were. Do you have any friends and family to help you through this awful time?

@Sartiff Hi Sara, so sorry for the loss of your dad. I can completely understand you being angry at the medical professionals. I felt/feel the same way too at times. My Mum saw medical professionals 2days before she died as she was due to have chemo, she even saw her consultant but although they said she was too ill to have it , they didn’t pick up on anything despite her oxygen levels being very low. They didn’t suggest anything at all and just said to come back in 2 weeks to try again! She died 2days later! It really must have been a terrible shock for you. Do you have anyone to talk to such as family and friends? Or do talk on here if it helps x
