My Dad is terminal with his Sinus Cancer and we don’t know how long he’s got!
My mother complains about the smell coming from his nose and mum is making him feel like a Lepper, keeeps going on about it!
Any suggestions that might help with this?.. Make Dads life a little easier and happier! 
Hi Aurabesh
So sorry to read about your poor dad.
Is there a chance that your dad could have a little respite time in a hospice while maybe your district nurse can try to help your mum understand?
It seems so awful.

No you misunderstand. Hospice isn’t just for end of life. It’s for respite too. A few days rest away from home.
Sorry I didn’t mean to offend you

I was wondering if there was anything medically they could give him to help!
Can he wear a mask?

Good evening, Aurabesh. This is so sad to read. This is not your dad's fault, and it must be so upsetting for him. I remember when one of my skin grafts started to die, so it gave off a smell. I could not smell it, but my wife could. Yet she certainly never complained about it; she just encouraged me until the skin graft was done again. Maybe your mum could wear perfume that masked the smell. I wish you all the best, Dad. Take care.

Its sometimes not easy but its worth it !
