  • Good morning C300

    I'm sorry to hear about your partners diagnosis and the struggles that you've both been experiencing since he left hospital two weeks you're feeling unsupported and that he is experiencing some strong emotions. 

    Please do contact his GP this morning regarding the pain that you've mentioned. It's important to try and get some support with managing this pain as that will hopefully improve things slightly for you both. 

    In terms of the lack of information from the hospital about the next steps, I'd suggest contacting the hospital PALS department. It's part of their role to help resolve concerns or problems when you're using the NHS and they should be able to find out some inforamtion for you. 

    If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses for some support and advice you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I do hope that you both get the support you need soon and that things improve. 

    Best wishes,
