Crying or Very sad Hi Newbie here needing some support please.

My lovely mother-in-law was told on wednesday last week that there is a 95% chance she has bowel cancer. She had a scan on tuesday and we was told on wednesday by the consultant that she would need a ct scan and a endoscopy (sorry about spelling Dyslexic) as a matter of urgency. It is monday now and no appointments. I have phoned the consultants secretary this morning and she chased it up for me and the departments have said " they have recieved the forms and are assessing them for urgency and we will be contaced shortly by phone" so still no appintment. I have phoned our doctors secretary and she is chaising it up as I type.

This is devistating all of us especially my mum-in-law, it is like mental cruelty waiting for appointments etc and knowing we will no nothing for two weeks. We wont know until then if it's terminal, treatable or at what stage it is at.

We don't know what to do or how to help, Its just a living nightmare waiting and waiting.

I have two children with special needs, my husband his brother and wife all work and I need to know appointment times and dates to arrange for my children to be picked up so I can sort out getting my mum-in-law to her appointments. This is so upsetting and we are so , so scared.

I am so sorry about all of this, I just needed to tell someone who knows how we feel. We are so scared.

Many, many thanks to you all xxx

Hi Proudmother..

Any news on appointments on your mum-in-law? I know when you are told news of this, the fifty millions of questions and things to do go through your head. Keep consistent on getting appointments, the sooner the better on getting tests and teatment done

Wish your mum-in-law the best along with you and your family.

May God Bless...
