A friend has head and neck cancer. 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.
Apparently these will not be supplied by nurses. Why ?? Macmillan nurse has been out today and district nurse goes weekly.
He is not incontinent, so that is why he cannot get any supplies. Why is there such a difference, they are both bodily fluids?
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
Would welcome any suggestions please
