Its almost 2 years since i came on this site. We have been muddling along since then and my Mum's breast cancer with mets to bones has now also mets to liver. Her arm was hurting and Dr arranged radiotherapy to help the arm pain. whilst having the radiotherapy me and my husband and two sons moved in to cook and help out.
I contacted hospice to see if Mum could recouperate there as my dad was getting her up several times a night to help him go to the loo as he is disabled with incontinence problems. However no help was available from Hospice
Mum's arm is now so severe she can't lift or move it. So she can't cook, or do anything. she eats minuscule portions , feels and is sick . Is dazed and grey faced.
I wrote to Hospice asking if mum can go there for a few days and they haven't replied . i have asked GP to phone me tomorrow to ask them to refer her to hospice as she needs to have rest without worrying about dad's needs. then i will go and stay with him.
However i doubt the hospice will help and was wondering actually what help is there for people,
