Palliative treatment only now. His partner phoned me tonight. (they live 200 miles from me).. He has a PEG tube in for the past few months. Tongue is gettting bigger and she is exhausted with all the washing because he is dribbling and coughing up fluids. I think she needs help with this and have been looking on websites for disposable waterrpoof pads to protect bedding etc. </p>
<p>Apparently these will not be supplied by nurses. Why ?? Macmillan nurse has been out today and district nurse goes weekly.</p>
<p>He is not incontinent, so that is why he cannot get any supplies. Why is there such a difference, they are both bodily fluids?</p>
<p>I am trying to order some stuff and send it to them. Does anyone know any good websites or suppliers I can arrange to send for them</p>
<p>Would welcome any suggestions please</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=275488&AppID=28524&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
