Oh Pat you must have an equivalent surely, I do hope so Mcmillan nurses are there for patients and families at the end. They allow patients to stay at home

I've got to catch the bus into the city in a few minutes as I have a dentist appointment, but I just popped out into the garden ... the mange tout peas have appeared, as have the radishes and the golden beetroot ... couldn't see the Swiss Chard, but I'm sure it'll be along soon

@Pat E - it may not be the same there but fwiw, when my Mum was beginning to struggle - she had cancer but un-diagnosed at that point - Dad at first would help her up and then call the GP when she fell. I told him to leave her, just keep her warm and to call paramedics instead. They immediately flagged her deterioration to the GP and he had to take her condition far more seriously. I know your daughter's neighbour already has his diagnosis, but by clearing up and helping him, your daughter may actually be not helping him, as it could be, to some extent, hiding the seriousness of his condition from those who can and will step in. Promises made are one thing, but if he needs professional care at this stage in his illness - and sadly those days always come with cancer - then it's really not up to her to do it. She can argue his case that he wants to be cared for at home, but not if it has to be by her. She's not in a position to do it and I hope she will make that very clear. If the respite care comes through that will help to make him visible to those that need to see how he is - so fingers crossed
((hugs)). It's a hard thing for her to go through and for you to know she's struggling with this. Well done finding the dog a good home

Ambulance came and he’s been taken to hospital. Phew! They’ll put him in the place where patients spend their last days. My daughter has her girlfriend staying with her tonight. Relief for all.
Glad all resolved Pat Dove I am at Dentist too! Cedric crown to be fitted. Here for hours but at least done in a day. We live quite far out. Hope all goes well for you
