My wife has a brain tumour that is giving her symptoms that are pretty much the same as dementia.
She has an op on Tuesday that may give havecsome benefit but not much and any will probably be lost anyway.
After 40 years of fighting, the tumour has won.
It is not malignant but has cysts on it that are growing.
So is currently 100% bebbound. She cannot get out of bed on her own.
I am terrified about discharge. I cannot care for her at home even with 4 carer visits a day. I work full time (I am 54 she is 57) and can not afford to give up work.
I hate that this is the case, but I can only see a possible solution being a state funded care home.
We live in England.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would ask that replies relate to the discharge process. Thank so much for any help you can give. I am desperate, lonely and frightened.
