    Kym i think it is wonderful that  your son is at home at the moment ,for all of you ,my daughter and partner were with us for 6 months ,at 29 years old ,it was bit chaotic but helped us all ,as she is not that well and obviously i m not great

    there is too much pressure on youngsters to leave home , enjoy him being with you 

    hope your radiotherapy goes as well as possible 

    xxxxxx

    Another night in pain

  • not surprised it's getting you down, you've got far too much on your plate at the moment, and pain is the last thing you need. Don't wait till Wed, ring the hospital or hospice today and see what they suggest. Pain is easier to manage once you get on top of it, don't let it rob you of sleep at a time when you need all the resilience you can muster. Big hug xx

    Hi

    I agree with Tinalay. When it gets to the point that you dread the night time because it brings pain, you need to get on top of it.

    I am very relieved to hear this . In my experience, my GP and the hospice nurses have been very keen to make sure I’m on top of the pain. I hope you find something that works.
