Hello, My 85 year old grandmother was diagnosed with vaginal cancer back in October last year. She was given a short course of radiotherapy to help symptoms in November but told she has months to short years. I am trying to support her the best I can, it's just me, we lost my mum (her daughter) at the beginning of the year and, I work full time and have a young child. I've fought hard with social care to arrange carers as she is not managing living on her own well. She has 2 visits a day and she is not entitled to more, the hospital are not offering anymore appointments and she only sees the GP when her symptoms get worse. Its really challenging trying to find the right support, it almost feels as though she is being left to die. The district nurses have been of little support and will not support us to arrange pads - I'm not really sure what I'm asking for maybe I just needed to say, this is hard and ask if anyone has any tips on how I can support her. Thank you for reading this
