Hi all

Just looking for some help. As per my previous posts, my mum was in hospital, diagnosed with lung cance. She wasdischarged on Friday, with carers coming in four times a day, becuase she's got mobility issues because of the location they have given her 5 sessions of radiotherapy on (spine). 

The NHS have discharged her, with a LOT of medication to issue each day, but the  carers were told they weren't able to administer this, so my mum became very anxious and called the paramedics as she felt she couldnt cope without having the nurses around (understandably so, she was in hospital with 24 hour care, and is now left with my family, who were told absolutely nothing on her discharge). They went through what medication to issue to her, and when so I am now taking this on myself to try and make her feel as comfortable as possible. The carers (as kind as they are) I cannot see what they are actually doing. I'm basically sleeping next to my mum on the floor, waking up with her at night, giving her pain relief, and just generally being near her all the time, and although its only day two, is taking a huge emotional toll on me to see her in this much pain. Is this normal for the NHS to do? I just cannot see how they can discharge someone when they haven't even given the full prognosis, that is struggling to do day to day tasks with very minimal help. 

Although it pains me to say this beyond words, I genuinely think she doesn't have much longer left and I can't bare to see her like this. I'm trying my best, but i am not a carer, I don't have experience in this and her appointment with the consultant is still over a week away. Any advice would be really appreciated at this time.
