Glioma

Well my nana has days left and is rapidly getting worse each day we are waiting for the drive to go in . And the district nurses have now begun to help . Her swollow has deterated and she can no longer speak .  It's heartbreaking to see someone getting worse by day .the only comfort we have as she is not in any pain . We are waiting for CHC Marie curie nurses to come now as they do nights with them so you can get rest.

  • Hello Massa, 

    I just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you during this difficult time. It's good that in these tough moments you are receiving help from the district nurses and that she is not in any pain but it must be so heartbreaking for you and so exhausting as well. I hope that by now you are receiving help from the Marie Curie nurses so that you can get some sleep. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Lucie , thank you for your reply and as of yet no Marie curie , but the district nurses have been amazing, she is not good today she has the rattle as she has a cheat infection of the food going to her lung  and gp has put her on antibiotics and an inhaler with a spacer ,she been having sweats lately and today she didn't know who I was which was upsetting , but we know it's the tumour . I massage her everyday so she doesn't get bed sores and it is exhausting but we on auto pilot at the minute. These little chats make a difference so thank you.
