Bowel cancer op cancelled twice.
The urgent bowel cancer operation of a disabled 61 year old relative has twice been cancelled on the day of the operation. He has been starved from midnight until early afternoon before being sent home. He still does not know when or indeed if the operation will take place. It feels like they're waiting for him to die so they can cut the waiting list down, The consultant is angry and frustrated by delays but administrators do not care or have any compassion. He is a number and obviously to them unimportant. The same thing can happen again next time he is scheduled for surgery. This is an appalling system.
