Good morning
My brother has very little time left and the palliative care team are trying to manage his pain. He is going to be in hospital for the next week whilst he has radiotherapy before being discharged to go either to my sister's or the hospice. Although time is precious my sister and I are wishing this week to go quickly so he can be discharged. As he is deteriorating so quickly he might die before the week is out. In the meantime I want to arrange for a masseuse to visit him but do not know where to start looking. Does anyone in the community have any suggestions?
Best wishes
Jane
Hi Jane, I'm not really sure what part of the country you are in but I thought Marie Curie may be a good place to check, then I had a look and found this link on their website
https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/support/terminal-illness/wellbeing/complementary-therapies
it also has other links at the bottom of the page that may get you in touch with someone locally. Also if you have no joy maybe try ringing them? They may be able to get someone in touch with you a lot faster x I am sending lots of love, I hope you manage to fulfil your wishes for your brother,
