Nursed my darling husband of 30 years at home palliative care till he passed 07/10/14. Diagnosed start July with sciatica, turned out to be bone cancer of back, L2 and sacrum, primary lung , adrenal gland with brain mets.
Privileged to look after him though it was tough, was administering sub cuts for last 2 weeks. Have some handy hints to share if required. Turning a 6 foot 3 man can be challenging when you are less than 5 foot tall but it is doable. Nothing would stop us from providing best care possible, thankfully supported by nurses once a day, a great palliative care team. Nowhere else in the world I would rather have been than by his side talking calmly and reassuring him.
