Extra sheets ? Waterproof sheets ? Pants ? Using stairs ? Bed or nor bed ? HELP !!!

  • Hi  

    Welcome to our community though sorry to hear about what your husband and you are going through.

    My experience with cancer is very different to yours but you might find some suggestions if you look in Prostate cancer forum  or even started your own post there. You might also try ringing the helpline 0808 808 0000 where the expert team should be able to offer some advice.

    Do post on here whenever and remember we are all here to help support as it can be quite hard taking on the carer role.

  • Dear Steve - How really sweet of you. Thank you for your very kind words. It means a lot. It’s all very new and terrifying. I HAVE spoken to the helpline who were similarly kind and helpful. I feel so much more prepared now. I will definitely be back on this forum, Im sure. It’s wonderful to know that we have fantastic Macmillan at our backs. You were there for my Mum and my father in law - and now for my darling (too) stoic husband. THANK YOI.
