Medicinal cannabis
I’ve been told by my GP that he can no longer prescribe Fentanyl lozenges for my breakthrough pain. I’ve always known they are palliative care drugs. They worked for me. Now I’m stressed about how I’ll cope when my last two are gone. Has anyone else had medicinal cannabis prescribed? If so did it work

My journey to recovery
This is a very long piece about my experience. It has a good ending. This goes back a few years I was feeling tired and extremely fatigued and had done so for some 6 months. Simple tasks like loading a tumble dryer meant I had to go to bed. I went to my GP and saw a locum. She ordered a full range

As my symptoms change/increase (I have PSP-cerebellar ataxia with dementia, or so I’ve been told by a neurologist and a neuro/psych specialist) I have started to check into this site more and more for information. It has helped me stay ahead of the “game” as no one in my family talks to me about this

Palliative Care
Nothing more to do palliative care it is just trying to live my best life possible. So I went to immeadiate care cause I felt I needed antibiotics and I got them and prednisone but also chest X-ray. Chest X-ray showed an area that could possibly be a cancer but I would be unable to with stand surgery

My mother in law has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, having a drain put in today to stay in for seeable future, tumour is 16.7 cm x 12.8, because of her age 84 and how frail she is they are just doing palliative care. A ct scan was done in 2016 and a cyst was seen on ovaries but wasn’t followed

Tumour marker is back in 3000s been told peritoneal lining now. Put on palliative care with expectancy of a year if I'm lucky but due to bowel obstruction that I cleared and am now on a low residue diet and steroids...can be months if bowels play up again.

Palliative care - questions to ask
We have an appointment today with a palliative care nurse who works in one of the hospices in our area. My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last Monday, for which there is no treatment available. I know the nurse will review pain meds and ask about mum’s wishes. What else should we ask? This

Mum's stage 4 diagnosis
Last Monday my mum was diagnosed with a non-specific stage 4 lung cancer. I say non-specific as the consultant does not want to put her through a bronchoscopy as he has suggested that whilst it will reveal the type of cancer she has, it won't ultimately change anything in terms of treatment. We've been

I thought I would post an update. I had an indwelling Pleural catheter about 4 weeks ago and the district nurses having been coming out most days to drain me. It has been hard getting the balance right between frequency of visits and volume. At first it seemed that as fast as the nurses were draining

Do You Know the Ins and Outs about Palliative Care?
A friend of mine wrote a blog post about Palliative Care that really tells you what it is (and isn't). One sentence in the blog clears up one misconception lots of people seem to have: Hospice is always palliative care, but palliative care is not always hospice. That's a very huge distinction!! https

How to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation? Reduce use of smart devices!
When the book written by palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware came about, she titled it Regrets of the Dying. This is powerful stuff. How much are you truly living your life? One of the top regrets was neglecting friendships. One of the key drivers I see of isolation is the wide use of mobile phones and
