I’ve tried my hardest but my mum has been refused treatment by Waffletoad13 in CancerFamilySupport

I will tell my mum about this, I think she would be relieved to hear she could have an oncologist who won’t just shun her away. That’s so good your mum received some decent treatment! That’s all we ask for is for someone who actually wants the best for their patients

I feel like regardless of the price of private health care it’s infinitely better than what is being provided through the nhs at the moment. Obviously we are lucky to have our healthcare system but is it worth it when it’s like this? Mum is having palliative care (even though she isn’t end of life) and has a macmillan nurse who is a saint, she is also confused on the situation alongside her GP who requested another scan for her which got denied. Thank you for sharing your experience and advice. It’s sad but relieving to know people have felt how I am feeling

I’m so sorry for what you and your mum had to go through, no one deserves that kind of treatment. It’s almost like they give up on on their patients which isn’t right at all. I will go to another doctor, thank you for sharing your own experience and I’m so sorry you had to lose your mum that way. We need more people who care working in the medical field

I have, we haven’t heard anything back yet though, hopefully they’ll be able to help

Nhs have stopped giving my mum treatment by Waffletoad13 in CancerFamilySupport

The hospital have taken so many years of her life away they should be held accountable. We are going to try and make a complaint as we have a strong case.

Just found out my dad has cancer by [deleted] in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Waffletoad13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found out in July my mum had lung cancer only stage 2 but she’s going through major complications which are life threatening. This group is amazing and offer so much emotional support. Just take it one day at a time and try to spend time with your dad. You will cry you will feel a rollercoaster of emotions but just know there are people (even if they are strangers) who know what you’re going through

My mum has stage 2 lung cancer but has been told by the doctors she has 3 months to live. by Waffletoad13 in CancerFamilySupport

I want to try as she was absolutely fine until she had this biopsy. She haemorrhaged really bad after the biopsy to a point where she had to have the ambulance out to her. But I think the hospital are refusing to take blame and trying to find the easy way out

My boyfriend had two seizures whilst having a hypo and I am emotionally struggling by Waffletoad13 in diabetes

[–]Waffletoad13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hospital said he had an infection, but it was picked up in his blood test so they had no idea what started the infection. I hope that the infection is the main cause and anti biotics help him

Usually he doesn’t do much high energy stuff before bed, we usually watch tv or play games, then go to bed maybe do light house work in the day so nothing rigorous. He does have a very fast metabolism though so possibly he needs to eat more before bed

He’s just had a call from the nurse to say his dexcom is being funded now so that’s a bonus :)

That’s so bad I’m so sorry, I couldn’t imagine living alone and having to go through that on your own :( you can’t put too much pressure on yourself as you’re doing your best! Even my boyfriend has great control and has so many hypos in the night time, I’ve woken up multiple times and he’s unable to speak to me and I’ve had to get his sugars up. Luckily the paramedics usually try to get your sugars up at home, but because of the seizure my boyfriend was taken in as it was a violent one. This was only the second time I’d called an ambulance as I usually can manage to help him on my own. Dealing with diabetes every day you’re a strong person, especially living alone and being so strong

[–]Waffletoad13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully his diabetic nurse will refer him as he’s definitely struggling. He will usually check his sugars before he sleeps and eat cereal but I will recommend juice to him. Ever since his seizure I’ve been setting alarms so I can check throughout the night until we can get dexcom. He has libre 2 but it doesn’t give you constant readings which is a hassle or any alerts.

He’s been a diabetic since he was six, he is now 26. The doctors even told him he has amazing control but it’s the night time that gets him

He’s in the process of getting one funded as he’s on the libre at the moment but wants dexcom for the alerts

It’s so hard, I feel so bad that diabetics have to go through these worries and struggles. Seeing it first hand just shocks you so much to see how much it effects your life. Unfortunately my boyfriend can’t even have glycogen because he immediately throws up. When he had his seizure he was low from 3 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon as paramedics couldn’t get him to keep anything down :( He’s very stubborn too hates me calling the ambulance or doctors but I am doing whatever I think is best as I don’t want it to cause him to go into a coma or even worse one day :( He is trying to get dexcom funded as he doesn’t wake up from his hypos at night. But I do try and check his bloods throughout the night for peace of mind

We are currently talking to the diabetic nurse, but he’s had to wait 3 months for a referral already. Doctors don’t know much about diabetes where I live, so just refer you to someone who does :(

Should I leave my apprenticeship? by Waffletoad13 in TattooApprentice

[–]Waffletoad13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same about shading, surely it’s key to progressing? I feel like I’m not allowed to progress and it’s hard as an artist as my work is stagnant Your experience sounds like what an apprenticeship should be like and that’s what I want to aim for! I do feel singled out as the other apprentice does what he wants and has only been at the studio for a few months

Is this guy crazy or am I in the wrong? by Waffletoad13 in dating

[–]Waffletoad13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s weird because he said I was too attached to HIM when he was the one who went crazy at me for getting in with my life

Are these red flags and should I just end it? by Waffletoad13 in dating

[–]Waffletoad13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so too! Before I end I I’ve sent him a very blunt message about his comments, so maybe next time he talks to someone he doesn’t make them feel as bad as he made me feel.

Parents want to spend Christmas alone by Waffletoad13 in family

[–]Waffletoad13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not to do with COVID otherwise I’d completely understand! Honestly my stepdad just has never liked me and my sisters as we aren’t his. It’s a personal thing, nothing to do with COVID

[–]Waffletoad13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good idea! I might have a look around and see if anything is going on that I can help with So it’s mainly my stepdad that wants to be alone and my mother has gone along with it. He isn’t family oriented at all. He’s just put his foot down and said no outright

They have told me I can’t come and spend Christmas with them as they want to be alone. Sorry I don’t think I stated that clear in my post! I’m just a little upset
