Coronavirus and Cancer

My Uncle is under palliative care and it seems like no one cares!  He's sleeping a lot lately he has oesophageal cancer. He's had a stent fitted but gone off his food. 
He has blood in his ear can't wear his hearing aid because it hurts. Trying to get him antibiotics. Infact trying to get him anything is a joke ! :(

Is sleeping a lot a sign he says he feels so tired all the time. 

  • Hi Jocosser,

    I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your uncle and that you're struggling to get support. Keep discussing any issues with his doctor / medical team.

    Other support and resources are also available from organisations such as Maggie's and Macmillan, although this may not directly help with the issues you mention in your post.

    I hope that you're able to get the answers you need soon.

    We're always here on the forum if you need it, even if it's simply to write down any thoughts or worries or connect to others.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
