Any tips for swallowing difficulty with end stage leukaemia please? Nothing tastes as it should, and anything touching the back of the throat causes gagging. Body weight dangerously low. Palliative care. Thank you
Hi Felinefriendly and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I can see that you've recently posted this question in the ask an expert section of the online community and wondered if you'd seen their reply yet. If not clicking here will take you directly to it.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups so you might also like to join and post in the supporting someone with incurable cancer group as then you'll connect directly with others who are supporting someone on palliative care.
If this is something that you'd like to do, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can then join and start a new post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
