My best friend has cancer of the saliva gland she comes under palliative care now two years after diagnosis but we don’t know how to get her a bed downstairs or some carers in to help us. She was discharged from hospital today she had a blood transfusion and oxygen but they said she doesn’t need oxygen now but we have no way of checking her oxygen sats and no oxygen to give her. we have managed to get her upstairs to bed but the cancer is on her lungs now as well as her brain and she has an infection in her finger which means they have put her on antibiotics but won’t do the palliative chemo, she’s awaiting on urgent referral a surgeon to look at the finger (it needs chopping off in my opinion) we need help we don’t know who to contact for a proper bed, extra help with general care she has three children who are living this how do we get them support ?
