Easter Cancer Treatment Under Threat

Tweet

With the Easter weekend 2021 imminent, the patient transfer service I use most Mondays to Fridays is not operating. I therefore set out to extend the Saturday and Sunday visits to me at home by district nurses for vital daily post bowel cancer surgery wound dressing changes to cover Good Friday and Easter Monday. I was told this can't be arranged until the last minute (today) but I got the district nurses head office to book me in for it from Last Monday. Today I visited a Preston clinic, using patient transport. The nurse who saw me, without even asking me, started making a phone call to book me into a remote clinic for Saturday and Sunday (no effort at all to discuss Friday and Monday). I told her to terminate the call to hear me out to which she told me I was very rude. She has decided that as I am mobile (I can walk short distances with a stick), I should be denied patient transport - Apparently you have to be near paraplegic or have a carer to qualify for this in her mind. She has tried twice before to compromise this service for me). I get easily exhausted, my condition leaves me anaemic and being on universal credit (unemployed) it would cost me £10 per taxi ride if I paid to travel (£80. 00 over the four return journeys over Easter alone) - her authoritarian indifference to listening to me after a virtual repeat of a conversation we have had twice before when she seemed more willing ultimately to hear me out) is totally unacceptable.
