Hi I'm new here looking for some advice I have stage 4 terminal cancer,which is metastatic in my lymph nodes lung and bones.Feeling really low head is in a dark place.I was just wondering if there was any charities or grants that supply beds.Due to the drastic amount of weight loss finding it very difficult to sleep.Lots of nights laid awake in pain and unable to get comfortable.Medication does not seem to be working.Also I was wondering if anyone had any success with housing etc if your home was too big and affected your health.If anyone can help etc housing and bed would be really appreciated I'm in the Sheffield area.This is a really big step for me so thank you for reading.

    Hello Damagedsoul, I also have mets breast cancer, spread to my lungs and lymph nodes.  Have you tried asking MacMillan about grants for beds?  They are very good at helping out with this sort of thing.  I assume you have a Palliative care team?  You could also ask them if there is any help you can get.  They will also be able to advise you about getting help from housing about your need for a smaller place.  Good luck, and very sorry to hear about your diagnosis, xx
