@ weenie, I hope that you are able to give your Mum some comfort. Shame her GP seems to be lacking in any empathy. I realise there were possibly limited options on how to let your Mum know what needs to be done but I can't believe this was their only option. Give her an extra hug all the way from Manchester.

@ dilli, sounds as though you are still in the wars. Wish there was something I could do or say, but in the absence of a magic wand maybe a hug will suffice for the time being?
