Caring for Dad with liver cancer........
My Dad is 82, and was diagnosed in August this year. He'd been unwell for most of the year, then caught Covid in June and thankfully this led to some blood tests from his GP. He then collapsed and got taken into hospital where he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He has got 3 metastatic tumours, and

Surgery or not!
Hi, I’m 77 years of age and I’ve just joined the Macmillan Cancer Club. My story is that following some difficulties swallowing, in April 2021, I had a gastroscopy and was diagnosed with T3N2M0 oesophageal cancer. I had radical chemoradiotherapy treatment for 6 weeks in July / August that year. After

Pill to end life
I do have a big concern. I was told by my doctors and also palliative care, that there is a pill to take to end your life. My doctors won’t give to me without chemo and radiation, however. I think it’s important to be able to have one as soon as possible. If I have a stroke or other disturbing effects

Malnutrition
Hi Everyone. My mother is 6 years into this cruel illness. She is currently in respite palliative care. In recent weeks we have experienced a massive deterioration in her ability to consume anything, including the food we had been pureeing. Her weight has plummeted and she is so so thin.. We are now

🎭 The mask slipped😪
My gp surgery managed to crack my facade and make me cry. I finally managed to speak to a person to ask why prescription for nebuliser hadn't been fulfilled. (They fulfilled prescription for ampoules to be nebulised but no nebuliser!) The rudeness and unhelpful attitude beggers belief. I know gps

Little blue pills and linctus
The helpful palliative care consultant at Harefield has prescribed for me Oxycodone tablets and codeine linctus. These are to try and manage the worst of my symptoms, coughing and breathlessness. So far they are helping. Though I'm having to go to bed early I've been very busy. Last week I had yoga

Those women where it spread to their liver??
I have mentally hit rock bottom. I have a question though. I see many women post that they have mets to their liver. What I think and what I am trying to understand is that I seen a photo of a breast cancer tumor and a 5 cm tumor is the size of a lemon. I have three tumors, one is 5.1, one is 7.1

Podcast discussing contributing factors to autoimmune conditions
Hi everyone, I was listening to this episode by Dr Rangan Chatterjee - who was speaking to Dr Gabor Maté about trauma, illness and healing - and I thought it was really interesting. In particular, later on in the programme, they were talking about autoimmune conditions and some of the contributing factors

Dad has lung cancer
My dads diagnosed stage 3 today and said he wouldn’t be able to have treatment as chemo would make him really ill and surgery Isn’t an option due to being 7cm and in lymph nodes. I think I sort of expected he wouldn’t be ok for treatment as he is only 7.5 stone and has severe spine curvature, osteoporosis

Are you a caregiver for someone with Parkinson's in the UK or Europe? Parkinson's Europe would like to hear your opinions.
I would like to send you questions over email or interview you (via Zoom) to discuss your life as a
carer
and what changes you would like to see in healthcare/
support
that would improve your situation/that of the person you care for.
