Hi ,
I am feeling very conflicted. My husband has advanced prostate cancer with metastasis in his bones, spinal cord compression and lymphatic system. He is in hospital having been treated for sepsis and heart failure . Doctors have successfully treated him and now say he is fit for discharge home. We have to go through the care planning and assessment process for the second time. I love my husband but I am not looking forward to having carers coming to our home again. He was diagnosed a year ago and discharged home in July last year. We had carer coming in until his recent hospital admission, four weeks ago. The care agency are ok but in spite of me raising concerns about his health they left it to me to call for medical assistance.
I really struggle with the intrusive nature of having carers in my home. I don’t know how I will handle going through this all over again. The cares have no regard for me or the fact that it is my home they are coming in to.
I have, only yesterday, been diagnosed with stress related angina and have been referred for a CT scan. I’m so glad my husband has pulled through but so sad that I have no idea how to cope with what is to come. I have no support from anyone to help me cope, only this platform.
