My dad got admitted to Inverclyde hosp. He has a fracture in his shoulder. Since then, they have done tests and he has lung cancer and bone cancer. We were told by a respiratory doctor that he will see an oncology specalist the following thurs. He then stated it might be the following thurs, as he only works one day a week

He still has a broken shoulder and is in excrutiating pain we were told this is a very complex case. Is this normal?

You'll be aware that your GP is also there to offer advice and help to your dad should he need it regarding his pain and a call to the practice now may be a helpful first step. They will also be able to describe what to do should things get worse for him.
