I havn't been on here in a while as things were going well for my dad. Palliative radio and chemotherapy were working. However, he didn't finish the last round of chemo as his platelets were low and a transfusion didn't help. He now lives me, my husband and our 12yr old son. In the last month his health has deteriorated rapidly. The last week has been so DISTRESSING. He only gets out of bed to use bathroom, sleeps most of time, hardly eats and is in so much pain. I thought I could cope looking after him at home but I need professional help. I know a hospice or hospital is the best place for him but I don't think he is mentally ready for that. I love him with all my heart but there is only so much we can do for him. Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with my local Macmillan nurse please.
