"The care, love and support was fantastic"

My husband was taken into Forest Holme for pain management and was expected to be there for up to a week.
Unfortunately whilst there I was informed that he only had four to six weeks left to live as the cancer was becoming very aggressive. Although we tried to get my husband home for his last days that became impossible.
The care, love and support from everyone at Forest Holme was fantastic and they were there for me and my family as well as my husband. The consultant explained everything to me and I was kept up to date with his care, medication and well being.

Dear leopardks67,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write. I'm sorry things changed more quickly than anticipated in the last weeks of your husband's life.

Thanks for your kind words about the love and support at Forest Holme.

With Best Wishes on behalf of all the team,
