Finding peace amongst the chaos

Hi Nurses

More emotional than physical

How to help partner find peace amongst the stress of cancer. Its been over a year and reaching thr limit of predicted time to live.

Hubby keeps needing transfusions and although I asked why all o got was blank looks from the junior drs.

He is feeling pressured to fill in DNR forms and he needs to come home.

The care is shocking and Iv made a complaint he is heading towards end of life and we are so stressed its awful I dont wNt this to be his/ our last memories

I’m so sorry to read about your situation.
A hospital is the last place he should be.
Ask your GP to refer you to MacMillan, Maggies, Marie Curie and/or your local hospice and explore what alternatives are available in your area.

Good luck
Dave

Hello Dave thank you for taking time to reply and for your useful suggestions. You will bote from my reply to Nurse Sarah that hubby is home I trusted the process and the process failed to be delivered and so we are home which is much better for his mental health and physical wellbeing and for mine too has his carer. ...

We dont have a Maggies in our area and atm tbh I want to say leave us alone.....I asked for help to care and its caused so much distress Id rather not bother .....

Kind regards for your support RB
