Thank you, I thought so - it seemed like a lot of treatment he had for such a dire prognosis! They were very vague about treatment and whether it was curative or palliative - probably the fewer details they give the easier the lie is to keep up.I work in a hospital and patients are allowed cards and gifts, even on the cancer wards.
Have you tried calling the hospital and asking to be put through to his ward….see if he even exists as an in patient?
we do do surgery for cancer patients where the tumour is pressing on certain areas, for example the spine and brain but (his “brother” saying he’s isn’t expected to make it) whether they would do this if he is already “terminal”, it would only be surgery for pain relief for terminal patients, to help their quality of life.
If he has had chemo and radiotherapy, it would mean they would have the tiniest positive prognosis or he’s having it to prolong his life by a few weeks rather than “save” him. They wouldn’t do this and do surgery if he isn’t expected to make it.
I hope that makes sense!
personally, he’s playing you but I am someone that gives the benefit of the doubt but I do think he’s playing a game
Patients are allowed phone chargers. I work in theatre but take patients back to the wards (even cancer ward) and they have all sorts.
also you would go to a gp for test, then be referred to hospital then wait for the appt then wait for the results, it’s not instant unfortunately
I don't even know what hospital he is in to call
Again that could be deliberate, if I knew his last name it would be much easier to look him up or enquire after him!
