My cousin is in late stages of liver cancer and has not long to live he lost his wife a few years ago and has two children who love abroad. He is arranging to go into a hospice. I would rather he spend his remaining time with family I am in my 60s and retired and have a disability problem with my left arm but my wife is perfectly fit and I have 3 grown up children who live nearby we would like him to come and stay with us we have granny flat in our house where he would have independence but he can come and eat with us or join us in the tv lounge. We have always been close since children and he is more like a brother than a cousin. Money is not an issue in giving him the best care possible if we need to employ a qualified nurse. What we would like to know is what kind of dietary requirements we would need to be aware of and any medical records we would need to keep like medication routines and symptoms to watch out for when we need to liaise with the hospital we really want to do this and would really appreciate some guidance from members who have looked after a cancer sufferer at home to save them going into a hospice.
