Hello

Hi I'm new to this group. I decided to join because I don't know how to deal with a situation. My Uncle is in a nursing home for mental health issues but he also has a growing Sarcoma on his calf. Despite having the opportunity to have an operation, my Auntie has decided is should be left alone! I'm really concerned that he is in pain but unable to speak out. I think this is a very  cruel decision. I'm having a hard time coping with how he is feeling!

  • Hey, 

    I know it can be frustrating when you have no control over a situation. If you are on good terms with your Auntie, maybe try and sit down with her and express how you feel? I use to work with vulnerable adults with mental health, it can be upsetting when you know they can't decide for themself, but try and talk to your Auntie.
