My husband was under the care of haematology for 9 months and was regularly seen by his consultants and nursing staff while undergoing chemotherapy and clinic visits.
Sadly my husband passed away just prior to Christmas (unrelated to treatment,) and I am extremely disappointed that despite the request from me, no one from the team has been in touch to even offer their condolences. If I am honest it feels like my husband was “just a number.” It’s not what I would have expected from a team who appeared to be caring and compassionate. I do understand the pressures all staff are under but sadly I feel that it is disrespectful not to acknowledge a patients death particularly when a relative has made a request for a further discussion.
"Disappointed"
