My husband is now very weak with terminal cancer and is too frail to wash himself but wont let me or anyone else help him
any ideas?
Hi
I'm sorry to hear how weak your husband is and it must be very difficult for you both.
I don't have any tips as to how to persuade him to allow you or others to wash him but I thought if you posted this in the carers group, which I can see you're a member of, there will probably be people there who will have experienced this too.
If you'd like to do that then clicking on the link I've created will take you straight to the group.
