After three years with metastatic prostate cancer my husband is now on palliative care only. This was told to us by the oncologist, who said it is now up to the hospice to manage his pain relief. We have a designated hospice nurse but at present she is only in touch once a week or so. Can anyone advise how I cope with things as they progress? Do I contact the GP? Any advice would be very welcome. Thankyou.
