I am so sorry to read your post. Ask your doctor for details of the Macmillan nurses, surely they should be coming in? Does your dad want to stay at home? I am saddened to read you haven't any support, let your doctor know so they can put the wheels in motion....you need all the help you can get even if it's only emotional support...xxx

Hi there  ...

So so sorry your all being let down hugely at a time there should be help and info as a norm .. it has to change ... but just to add to Marlyn. . Marie Curie are all about help for terminal patients and their families ... please go on their home page... I was amazed at what they do to help ...

I so hope you get all the help you need really quickly ... think your G P has a bit to answer too ... sending you a vertual hug at this time ... Chrissie

While it is not an excuse for abandoning people who desperately need  help I find that so many charities on whom reliance could be placed previously are starting to fall apart at the seams.  It is a sign of the times and as always it is those most in need who suffer the most.  I try to find sources of help for everyone who needs it but keep coming across long waiting times whether it is helping children who are losing a parent, those who need bereavement counselling or help with caring for a terminally-ill loved one.  I think it does vary from area to area but these are needs that desperately need meeting.  Don't be afraid to explain how this  is affecting you and I so much hope that you get the practical and emotional help that you need.  Annie
