Press release 29 october 2006
For caring together cooperation is the key !
We are delighted to report increased collaboration between Caring Together, the Spanish Public Health Service and other organizations.
To give you an example: Mr. X is 80 years old and in the later stages of an illness which involves cancer of the prostate which has led to growths in other organs such as his liver, kidneys and bladder. After a period in hospital he has been sent home with no prospect of a cure. Unfortunately Mrs X is 82, frail, and in no condition to attempt the care of her husband on her own.
The pain from such invasions of formerly healthy organs can be incredible. Mr. X needs not only nursing but also medical supervision as the disease progresses. Good as they are, our nurses are not permitted to decide the changing level of medication which alone will help to make the last days of the illness bearable.
