Eighteen months ago, our mum, who was in her late-eighties, was diagnosed with an inoperable cancer. She passed away earlier this week. Throughout that time, she was able, with the right type of care and support, to remain living at home with us. She died peacefully in her own bed surrounded by those that she loved.
We would like to make special mention of the expert service provided to her, and to the whole family, by the NHS Lanarkshire palliative care team over these several months. This advice was key to ensuring that she enjoyed the best possible quality of life for the longest period of time possible while she navigated the difficult course of her illness. Our thanks for your consistently sensible guidance, and for taking the time to provide detailed information.
