The consulted

care
which seems like they are thinking there is nothing else to be done. However, I feel like she needs more time to recover and gain mobility. She was breathing on her own with help of c-pap for five days straight.

GP support ?!!?
Interestingly their interests ranged from cardiovascular, mental health, to gynaecology and
palliative
care
and five of them stated paediatrics as a special interest.

doctor I could hear calling me non-stop and hearing fear in her voice. She called me about 12 times saying please pick up if you are there. I did not even know I was home but I was on the floor and could not move.

Is weight loss always ominous?
I asked if the heart failure team were aware and they said yes as its all the same team (so I think they're part of the
palliative
care
team).

I can't cope with the rollercoaster
My Mun is 95 and in
palliative
care
. She has been in bed for the past 8 weeks and needs 24 hour care. She is at home and I have moved in for the last 8 weeks. I have carers 3 times a day. I can't cope with the rollercoaster of not knowing what each day will bring.

team and 'Jenny' was kindness itself.

Little blue pills and linctus
I know some people fear the worst when
palliative
care
is discussed, they fear it means end of life care, but in most cases it doesn't mean that at all. They are brilliant with drug combinations and have time to listen and chat.

Update on hubby Nov 2022
I am so proud of hubby, for those who have been following our story, you will remember that when he was admitted to A&E in June 2021, that his Hepatologist was ready to bring in the
palliative
care
team if hubby carried on drinking.

Understanding Palliative Care
I received a email today: There is a lot of confusion when it comes to
palliative
care
.
Many people equate the term
care
with hospice, but the two terms are not interchangeable.

Caring for Dad with liver cancer........
He has got 3 metastatic tumours, and was told he was too frail to undergo treatment so he was referred to the
Palliative
care
team. They initially said Dad had 12 months, but he's declining rapidly and is now struggling with hepatic encephalopathy which is causing more problems.
