Hospice or home

Less than one minute read time.

What do I expect ?  GP is coming today to tell us what to expect with mum’s cancer.  We have been told that she is dying and we are now beyond bereft and trying to decide, with her - what is the next course of action.  She is at home presently and is in pain.  She did want to come home, but she is very sore now.  We’d like to know people’s experience of home care opposed to hospice care, is it easy to get into a hospice,  what is the just in case like - has anyone done this

    I think it might be a good idea to put your questions in the 'Carers' forum, or the 'Friends and Family' forum, where you'll find other people with similar situations to yours.

    Not many people read these blogs, and your questions are rather urgent!

    I think the best thing to do is phone the helpline, where you can get expert advice very quickly.

    I hope you find a way for your mum to be calm, comfortable and pain-free.

    Best wishes
