"Oncology care"

I visited my sister on SRU at the weekend. SRU is what it is...patients waiting for a bed & the staff work so hard to provide excellent care in that environment. My sister is my concern. She is very vulnerable and doesn't like to make a fuss. She is waiting for both chest & abdominal drains as she has, for the 5th time, the last one being 2 weeks ago, filled with fluid. She is gasping for breath & can hardly move. I cannot understand why she has been left to 'fill up' again. She is terrified & therefore does not tell us or the doctors what's happening to her. I feel that her team should realise this & put measures in place-sending her home after draining her is no good because she fills up again at speed. If you ask her -she's ok. She is not-we are one worried family & are at our whits end.
