Hello,

My mother-in-law has been told that she has 3 months to live following diagnosis of terminal cancer. She lives on her own, 3.5 hours drive from us and will increasingly lose mobility and sight from here on in.

She has very good care from her local GP, hospital and Macmillan’s nurses but we’d like to transfer her to London so that we can look after her better. I imagine she’d start living with us but soon have to have more specialist and hospice care.

Does anyone know how easy it is to transfer cancer patients to a different part of the country and access specialist cancer services including hospice/ palliative  care?

Many thanks
