A rant and request for bright ideas please, DF in hospital with stage 4 liver cancer, it's spread, is terminal. He has nephrostomy bags from a separate problem ( so plastic bags off wee strapped to him that need emptying every 3 hours). He can't walk. Lives alone. He's been refused CHC and assessed as not needing nursing care either. I am so cross they can just expect him to get on with it. He's dying with months to live. Is it worth appealing or is it right that you need a tracheostomy or similar to get any of this care?
I know we will have to go down the senate social care route but I find it upsetting that he can't have nursing care.
Thanks for any advice.
