I am new here and have been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I was a carer for my husband and when I was in A&E he had a seizure and also had to be admitted on the same day. He was discharged before me and was sent to a home for respite. I had a bowel stent fitted and was told I needed further scans MRI l was told I had cancer of bowel so I was quite hopeful but after discharge and further scans it had travelled to liver extensively and was in the blood so it was terminal. I was told I should no longer care for my husband who is twice my weight and a foot taller as well as mobility problems, epilepsy, diabetes and dementia. I am so sad and he feels I am leaving in a home to rot ( his words not mine)
I am having biopsy results and seeing enology next week to see if there is any form of treatment . It all happened quickly as I had tests by doctor three months ago and even bowel test was clear as was bloods and they said they couldn’t find anything wrong even though I said I did not feel myself.since having the stent I have felt fine but wonder what is going on inside.
I am fighting against the social worker who thinks my husband is capable of coming home with two carers 4 times a day but I don’t think possibly 8 different people in and out the house while I might be having chemotherapy is a good idea. We will have to pay as my husband has a good government pension as well as a full OAP .
I am interested in
alternative therapies to go along side chemotherapy if I get it.Has anyone any ideas and how they can be sourced and the cost please?
