  • Hello Bellally

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has developed some new symptoms today. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned. 

    Please do call NHS 111 for advice. Explain that your Mum has been referred to the palliative care team and was assessed recently but that she has some new health symptoms that you're concerned about. Hopefully, they will be able to arrange for someone to give you some advice or arrange to call to visit your Mum if they feel she would benefit from seeing a health professional sooner. 

    Let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
