My mum has had lung cancer for year now she 67 she not talking any chemotherapy she been on or off cancer tablets side effects not been good last couple weeks she been having lot trouble with her back she having trouble pulling herself up in bed would she be able get bed rail for free or any other bed assist that could ease her problems 

  • Hi , sorry to hear about your mum - can really quite relate to some of the side effects of chemotherapy.

    My wife did manage to get a bed rail, a stair banister, grab handles in the shower and a raised toilet seat when she was released from hospital some years ago.

    This page from the NHS talks about Household gadgets and equipment to make life easier including bed rails.

    Back pain I can very much relate to as I have a kind of arthritis in my spine - now almost ever room in our house has a reacher/litter picker as otherwise things that are dropped on the floor are going stay on the floor.
