"Great advice from staff and other patients"

About: Ayrshire Hospice

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in January 2013. My dog knocked me over and I could not regain my feet. My wife called the G. P. and he called an ambulance. I had a scan and was moved to a hospital in Glasgow. I had an operation two days later. The surgeon told me he was unable to remove all the tumour and that I had an inoperable brain cancer. I asked the usual questions, how long etc. but he was unable to give a time, so I continue day to day, and take medication for pain and other things. I have good days and bad days. I go to the hospice one day a week and get great advice not only from the magical staff but from other patients also.
