URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE ref Protocel

Last reply: 21 March 2014 10:27

Recently she was sent home with a machine to enable the removal of the white discharge
Things have now become VERY DESPERATE and none of us know what to do
Plus the suction machine causes irritation and sometimes even bleeding.

We've had to stop the Protocel temporarily. I feel awful. If we'd have started the Protocel one year ago she would be ok. As it is, I can't see how we can actually give her the stuff, the only medicine we've found that works Plus the suction machine causes irritation and sometimes even bleeding.

Dear Ylee,

We are sorry to hear that your granddaughter is so ill. We would suggest you discuss her breathing and swallowing difficulties with her medical team as they will be in the best position to advise.

Kind regards
Cancer Information Service Nurse.
