3 years ago today, my mum died of cancer. She died of a curable cancer after being suposidly cured twice. Even 5 days before she died they were denying her cancer. She was not treated well by the NHS. The major cancer charities, the social services and other bodies did not try to help and left her soly in my dad's care even though they had been seperated for years.
To commemorate her death I will donate to various charities which I feel really help and avoid charities such as Cancer research UK because they don't really care about curing cancer. After mum died I read an article which clearly demonstrated this and it made me feel really angry. People are being 'cured' too soon which gives people a false sense of security. They then have fatally long waiting lists after their next symptoms start to show themselves.
If mum's cancer had been diagnosed in time she could have had a hysterectomy. It took a year before she was seen to. By then it was too late. They just gave her the usual chemo and radiation therapy. She seemed to respond well so they announced her cured. So my brother and sisterinlaw decided that they were no longer duty bound to stay and help and could now immingrate to Australia which they had planned to do for a while.
However, her cancer reserfaced. When she told her mother about it, she just got a telling off from one of her unfeeling relatives for worrying her mother. An operation was performed and again seemed successful so she was announced to be cured for the 2nd time.
Then after Christmas 3 years back her cancer came back for the 3rd and last time. She was put on a waiting list despite being known to have cancer and it took a lot of pressure from my dad to agree to hospitalize her as she needed a ventilator.
She was discharged at easter without adiquate support. She died when her gas ran out. My dad had to find extra gas. They didn't supply it at the hospital. She died at 4 am in the morning after being admitted at hospital, given lots of very powerful pain releif and suffering a major heart attack.
She is burried at West thorp graveyard.
May she rest in Peace.
