My mum is on a 6 week chemo break, is in week 4 and has been sick for 4 days in a row and was referred to Dr Grays. Whilst she was there, the nursing staff we came into contact with were very direct and not very empathetic. She was heavily sick during the night and asked one of the nurses for a drink to cleanse her mouth and was told to wait another 3 hours until they came round with the tea cart. She wasn't offered a shower in the whole 4 days she was there.
Overall, I don't want my mum treated at Dr Grays but as it is the closest hospital, she will be referred there again.
I am very disappointed in the way she has been treated. Mentally she is finding cancer tough and the whole experience isn't helping.
I would like to see some action taken to improve patient care.
