Dread news - sorry we can’t do anymore for your mum and can’t give a timeline, but looking at weeks

To irq74 Please try not to think you are being selfish. Cancer is such a vile disease and as partners and carers we also suffer devastation to our lives. People say ‘look after yourself too’ but that is easier said than done.Thinking of you ( my husband is stage 4 stomach cancer, sleeping such a lot ,crawling upstairs and with mobility issues and pain in hip and leg.) Like you I don’t know what will signify imminent death! I m thinking it will be a gradual increase of morphine until no more can be tolerated Just heartbreaking— you are not alone in this .

Hi Maddie,

Sorry to hear you are in a similar situation as we are.

I am still waiting on the local Macmillan nurses to contact us, I could do with them rocking up sooner rather than later

Do Hope MacMillan have been in touch by now! Our local team have been helpful once they had come out to see us. Getting the right people out when you want them isn’t always easy! Thinking of you ! 

Thank You. Waiting for a mcmillan person to come and see us, they have been in touch.
