Husband has Stage 4 lung cancer spread to lympo nodes and bit in liver

1 minute read time.

So 12 weeks ago my husband was a self employed bricklayer laying approx 350 bricks a day.  Then everything changed.   We have 3 grown sons, none who help, umm they got their own   i families you know pmsl, if not gotta change napkins, dump rubbish or its working shifts.  Thats fine.  We as a couple have been married since 17 me and 19 him. June 1q8th 2023 was 40 years married for us. We are used to that.

NHS help espically Macmillian let us down greatly.  Yestaday Thurday 4th Jan, was discussing with one of the macmillian nurses the fact my husbands cough could be controlled better she agreed, said she would ring me Friday morning which she did, telling me when consultants returned she woukld ensure medication would be availabe if I were to collect it from a chemist.

I rang repeatedly, all afternoon to no answer

Eventually ringing my own GP explaining situation, they allowed me a script that could help with his cough over the weekend (I hoestly thought that was what Macmillian was there for? I was obviously wrong, therefore could someone tell me, is it Macmillian that helps you through cancer or some other palletive care service?
