How is it possible to get help for Mum who is 80? She has oesphogal malignancy and pending confirmation of stomach cancer.
She is very weak, struggling to eat. Has lost 20% of her body weight in 6 months and is getting by on glasses of warm milk and a muller yoghurt each day. Reablement care from a recent stay in hospital is due to end on Monday. They say that as she can walk (about 20 m) she doesn't need their help and can manage at home. She is a widow. My brother is local but works away in the week, my sister and I live 200 miles away.
I guess we are between between confirmed diagnosis
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. I've a meeting with reablement tomorrow and was going to call her GP again but struggling as to where to go next.
Thanks in advance.
