Maybe it was bad luck but the Mac nurse at our local hospital (Medway Maritime gawd help us) was an unpleasant brusque person. My cuz and his wife complained. In the final fortnight when his wife asked for help she was told that waterproof pads had to be ordered (and they still havent arrived). My cuz passed away a week after that request. Whenever his wife asked for help she was only offered a phonecall.<br />Unfortunately the NHS let my cousin down badly because "they don't scan the brain with lung cancer" despite the fact that is where lung cancer usually metastasizes.<br />We had no clue that that is what would happen until he had an 'episode', ended up in A&E, was scanned there and the wonderful (truly) A&E consultant gave us all the bad news.<br />I am sorry to tell our very recent story here when I should be giving you the 'pep talk' but it makes me angry and weepy as he only passed away Monday (26th) after a very short illness.<br />I will follow your story with care and pray that all goes well with your Love. <br />PS The oncology consultant was a bit laissez faire about having Any chemo, my cousin had to insist on it! susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762599123725286723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831291300240318575.post-21442091362885850692016-10-01T14:06:22.439-07:002016-10-01T14:06:22.439-07:00What to say Rachel?

I am so glad their action plan is to take the kidney out. I'm sure your sense of humour will be the perfect tonic for you both over the next few weeks.
