Hi All
Had an operation to remove a Tumour last November. The post op feedback was generally good with confirmation that the cancer had not spread to the lymph nodes. We were told the area they removed the cancer from may need treatment with radiotherapy to reduce the chance of my cancer returning.
Last December my wife and I had an appointment with a consultant to talk what we thought was about Radiotherapy the recommendation made after an operation only to be told the unexpected news my cancer was now not curable and whats more procnosis was 12 to 18 months.
Anyway things have not gone too bad since and generally my health has been surprisingly good except for the odd health issue that hits me now and again. At present I am under encology with a consultant in another hospital about 20 odd miles away. The problem is if I get ill, or start having issues with pain I have no where else to go but my GP who mostly seems to send me to A&E. When I turn up at A&E they do the same old tests repeated on every visit, I end up spending hours waiting, then they seem to try and admit me mainly because of my Cancer when I only want treatment to help with my symtons.
Just wondering what others do when they feel ill, are not having Chemo, is there a better way to do this, or is haveing regular visits to A&E all that is left for me and my family.
What do others do, any suggestions???
