My partner has stage 4 pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. It is inoperable and is having palliative chemo. The hope is the slow or shrink cancer to give him longer to live. But after diagnosis he has had multiple mini strokes TIAs and DVT plus he already has diabetes.He is now bed bound and seems very poorly. A paramedic friend asked if he had his Do not attempt resuscitation is place. If indeed he wanted one. My partner is adamant he does as working for the ambulance service himself , he knows the trauma to the body involved. I phone doctors surgery to enquire about putting in place and was told that the DS1500 firm for social security has got NO circled in a box. Something to do with administering treatment. And that was suffice. I am enraged to discover they told me wrong! My partner needs this in place NOW. I don't think he has long and I don't want him to go through this. I will go into doctors surgery first thing and wont leave until they sort. But the doctor has never come out for home visit even though we live next door.
