Help needed

My Mom has recently been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour she is currently still in hospital waiting to be moved into palliative care in a nursing home. We are all in shock and need help to come to terms with this and to understand what is happening. She is not being very well cared for in hospital due to the demands on the staff - so we all feel we have let her down - who can help us? Desperate! 

  • Hello Floss,

    I am so sorry to hear about what is happening to your mum at the moment. I just wanted to welcome you to our forum and let you know that our nurses today responded to your post in Ask the Nurses here.  Our sincere apologies if the nurses were a little bit late responding to your other message. I hope that their answer will be helpful to you. If you want to speak to them on the phone, there is a free line you can ring Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm - 0808 800 4040 so don't hesitate to pick up the phone and share your concerns with them. They are very friendly and will be happy to help!

    I hope you will also hear from some of our other members who may have found themselves in a similar situation and they may have some suggestions or advice for you.

    Best wishes,
