Hi
I'm Terry and I'm new to the forum and looking for some support to help care for my mum.
It looks very likely that she has bowl cancer and it's already been a pretty terrible year so far...
My dad had a brain bleed in March and finally came home from various hospitals in May.
Mum was already frail (having suffered from a chronic lung condition for 25+ years along with bad osteoporosis).
She cared for my father even though it was clearly taking its told on her physically. My brother and I are 60 and 55 respectively and don't live locally. We have been supporting them both along with a family friend since March..
6 weeks ago my father was admitted to a residential carehome (on discharge from a further hospital admission) as my mum could no longer care for him.
She was herself Ill while he was in hospital and hadn't recovered by the time he was discharged.
Mum has been ill for the last 10 weeks and were trying to work out how best to care for her. I'm staying with her at the moment but that can't continue for long...
It's a hard time for everyone...
