she had been fighting cancer for more than a yea literally on 420 day.

They left her in a ward next to a person known to them to be infected with Covid. She got it and passed away the next day. She had opted to stop treatment and moved into a hospice. We expected her to last 3 weeks so it's unknown if Covid sped things up. I had plans to return home before then but I've missed her and have to fly home tonight/today.

My Dad was also infected with Covid from the same woman and likely everyone in that ward was too. The hospital had known she was infected since Monday and took 3 days to remove her from the ward and inform the other patient.

Last time I spoke to her she was happy about moving into the hospice just to get some peace. It was also near our home and she was excited she could see the dogs again. Didn't happen.

The hospital also told her she would be given very mild chemo but they upped the dosage significantly and didn't tell her until it was done. She was adamant she didn't want chemo and only accepted because they said t would be no stronger than an XRAY.

and sweet crikey a 600 euro last min flight from Netherlands to Ireland. I've booked last min flights from Osaka to Italy for less.

I take some solace in the fact that the day is marked with a crazy beautiful orange super moon. This is the same Supermoon that was present on my 21st birthday.

Sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
 
Sorry to hear that bud. Shame things were handled that way.
So odd. She went in with mild breathing problems and the moment she was diagnosed she went down dramatically. They also told her from the start she had stage 4 cancer but when she was getting treatment they never told her to where it spread and for a full year assured her it was still contained in the lung. They even inserted the tube for draining fluids wrong so she spent 24 hours with it inserted poorly before they noticed it wasn't even draining. I swear the hole thing wreaked.
 
Really sorry to hear that sherbro. My condolences to you and your family.

Real shitty the way that hospital handled that situation.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom this year too. It is the worst pain I have ever felt and I will never get over it.

I hope your mom is in heaven. My prayers to you and your family.
 
so she was diagnosed on 4/20 2023 and lived 458 days.
So close.

Jokes aside the time I found out I was reading a Sherdog thread someone made titled something like ''what are you doing April the 20th.'' I didn't know what 420 was and briefly thought someone was playing a prank on me. Diagnosed with lung cancer on 4/20 of all days.
