My husband (82) has right side colon cancer, he has been offered no treatment due to frailty  he is on home hospice care, i am his only carer apart from weekly visits from the community nursing team, he has become incontinent and needs changing 2 to three times a day, he is not mobile due to nerves after a fall and can just about make it to the bathroom, he refuses to have anyone else look after him, it can be very exhausting and isolating as i am frightened to leave him in case he falls again, he is getting very depressed and refusing to eat, how do you cope with the lonliness and guilt of not being able to help
