My dm is 76 years old. She has never accepted invitations for mammograms, poo tests, never visits opticians etc. I think she finds it difficult to go through with appointments and has always had a massive anxiety. I posted before that she had a blood transfusion in 1976. I think she should have a hep c test.I have tried to gently talk to her about it but I don’t think she can face it. Sometimes I think her eyes look a little yellow but she has had elevated bilirubin for 25 years but I we presumed it was Gilbert’s. Does anyone else have parents like this? Do you respect their wishes or do you become forceful in making medical appointments? I have massive anxiety right now as my husband and dad have cancer. I feel so responsible for everyone.
