Hi , my husband has metastatic prostate cancer in bones, ribs, femur and spinal cord compression effecting functioning in bowel, bladder, legs. He cannot walk. His legs are very swollen. OT has told us he has lymphoedema. He had trouble with catheter for the second time in as many months, trauma from moving, rolling or being hoisted or UTI. Antibiotics given, again just in case. He is very tired, exhausted even and having random mutterings to himself.
he loves his food but over the last week or two he has lost his appetite, he is eating but not his usual self.
I am really worried about him. Community nurses, carers and physio don’t seem overly concerned. Could these changes be due to UTI or something more serious. I have tried to talk to our local hospice living well service but when I phoned nobody was available to talk to me. Feeling distraught with worrying about my husband.
