Thank you Lyn, we just wonder (looking at all the horrendous side effects) how this can be considered care at all. Will Barrie go through hell, catch viruses in hospital etc., etc., and possibly not even extend his life. Having Maggie's within a hospital seems so wrong. Also it is too far for us really as we don't have a car. Barrie is hard of hearing and telephoning anywhere is impossible, I could speak with people but it is all just too much to cope with and I don't feel great myself.
I believe our son contacted the South Tyneside support but it was not running because nothing else mattered in life to this government but covid. Let people die it doesn't matter. Can't quite come to terms with that alone. I don't think there is one is Sunderland either as I asked the hospital just last week and they just said Maggie's at Newcastle. Its so so wrong, so wrong. So really what help apart from on here is Prostrate Cancer Uk giving us? I hope I am wrong about this even if they are out there, why on earth would they make a meeting place in a hospital, the worst place in world .
I hope you can maybe get in touch with George, emailing would be preferable for Barrie. Thank you for taking the time to get in touch.
