My brother has been in hospital for 2 weeks thay kept telling us nothing till the last week. He has been discharged without a full diagnosis but thay said he has cancer in his lung, throat, lymph nodes and bones. He had been in hospital 2 times in the last 12 weeks and never picked up on it. Thay discharge him on Friday even though he had not eaten anything for 5 days lost loads of weight. Thay said he didn't need any care at home. Thay have put no care plan in place. He is now like he is not there alot of the time. He is not drinking much. He has lost feeling in his foot. Sleeping loads. Thay told us nothing of what to expect. I believe he is in the very end stages and don't know how long maybe days he's that bad phoned the ware he was on thay said phone 111 if any concerns but I don't want to ship him of to hospital where he won't have the people around him he wants. Also the hospital is a waste of space. Sorry I don't really know why I am writing what I want I just needed to get it out I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing. Thanks
Hello
so very sorry to hear about your brother, you do need support at a time like this, could you ask your GP for a home visit ? He may be able to arrange support, possibly via the MacMillan nurses. Also have a look at https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support
you can phone MacMillan on 0808 808 00 00 they will help guide you
I realise finances is not your top priority, but talk to your GP about PIP for your brother. ( personal independence payment ) this can be fast tracked, without any meeting etc, for cancer patients.
thinking of you
