Mum discharged herself from hospital today.

Hiatus hernia. She can't eat or drink anything. Literally throws it straight back up.

Can't walk because her lower back is buggered.

UTI in blood. Been given antibiotics but nothing seems to be giving her a boost.

Sat in a sodding chair for 36 hours at A&E. Not slept for at least 48. Said she just wanted to go home.

I'm really scared 😭

MNHQ EDIT to gently suggest that MNers new to this thread take the time to read through all of the OP's posts before answering

Not good news today. Ultrasound shows shadow over the liver.

Further scans tomorrow but we've been told to prepare for the worst.

Heartbroken 💔

Really sorry to hear it wasn't better news, your poor mum has been through the ringer these past few days 😔

I am so sorry op, having been through something similar with my own dm I followed you thread hoping for a better outcome. Sending a hand hold ❤️

LizzieW1969 · 17/11/2025 22:52

I’m so sorry to read your update, OP. ❤️

Gair · 17/11/2025 22:52

I am very sorry to hear this. I hope that it is the least serious outcome possible, and that your mum's treatment will be much improved from here on in. You have all been through a lot already. ❤️

mummymetalhead · 18/11/2025 01:27

Oh OP I’m so sorry 😔
keeping everything crossed that it’s very treatable xx

cannynotsay · 18/11/2025 02:07

oh gosh OP you sound like you’ve been through the ringer it should be this hard to get help and your mum clearly isn’t well and making it worse for herself at times!! Praying they can support her

Backofthenet20 · 18/11/2025 02:17

Sorry to hear your news. Hopefully it is something they can treat

Cornishclio · 18/11/2025 02:22

Hopefully the news won’t be as bad as you fear and whatever is wrong with her is treatable. The NHS is broken really. 😢

Scarydinosaurs · 18/11/2025 04:36

I’m so sorry to read this update. I hope they can at least get your mum comfortable and moved somewhere with the right care.

Bunnycat101 · 18/11/2025 05:14

Oh OP I’m so sorry to hear that. I was hoping for better news for you. I hope things start to get more efficient as you start to consider next steps and the care and attention towards your mum improves. You’ve already done a lot to advocate for her and you must be emotionally drained. Take care of yourself too.

SouthernNights59 · 18/11/2025 05:47

I'm so very sorry x

AhBiscuits · 18/11/2025 06:21

I'm sorry that you've had such worrying news. I hope that you are holding up OK.

Kate8889 · 18/11/2025 06:32

Sending thoughts your way op, hoping it turns out to be something that can be treated

SoUncertain · 18/11/2025 07:10

Hope you get better news tomorrow. You've done brilliantly advising for her. Keep going xx

KellsBells7 · 18/11/2025 07:37

I’m so sorry to read your update. You will all be emotionally drained and stressed already which will make the news even harder to cope with. Once the scan is done, you’ll know what your dealing with and will keep everything that it’s treatable.

Lots of us on here have been on this horrible journey with our loved ones, they’ll be lots of handholds and support here for you.
