Hi, my hubby has prostate cancer spread throughout his bones. He has said he wants to die at home. I won't be physically able to do all the manual handling this will need, as he is heavier than me, I am just over 8 stone, and 5 feet high!
When Mum and Dad had dementia, we had to pay for care calls, but I don't think there's enough left in the pot to do this again.
A friend has told me to apply for continuing health care, fast track, end of life. This apparently is different to the CHC I applied for {and was denied} for Mum and Dad. Google tells me the referral needs to be made by a clinician, but when I spoke with the hospital they had never heard of it.
I was just wondering if you can shed any light on this?
Hubby receives PIP and his pension.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
