My terminally ill husband keeps feeling like he needs to pass water but nothing happens
should i call his palliative care nurse?
Hi there ,
I’m sorry that you’re both going through this awful time right now. Yes I would advise that you contact someone from your husbands palliative care team just to be on the safe side, if he’s receiving palliative care then I’m presuming you have 24 hour access? they’ll be able to get onto whatever is causing this issue straight away. Hope this is resolved soon for him.
Nicola
