Just an update on my dear mam who has lung cancer as well as dementia.
She has now been in the care home for 7 weeks & was beginning to settle in as well as can be expected , however in the last week she got a uti, which she was given the wrong tablets for so is now on different antibiotics but she seems to be in constant pain & when I've visited the last few days she has been in tears with the pain & the nurses don't know if the discomfort is due to the infection or the tumour.
The staff in the home are really lovely & I know she's being looked after but I know I can't help her & feel she is slowly slipping away.... X
