Hi. First time on here. Just wanted to share with someone that I have been caring for a friend for 18 months with cancer. Hes now terminal with weeks to live and the hospital has stopped all visiting. Im his nominated NoK - I understand why but its so heartbreaking. He can’t talk, or use IT, so only way to communicate is letter. Its breaking me up right now. Sorry.
