Hopefully the hospice gets he money. In full.
Still weird that he didn’t use the hospice’s own donation portal. It offers several options for payment, ongoing levels, and select services.

Oh ok, I thought it was something rich screen shot 😂
 
As many of you have already pointed out, I'm finding it absolutely baffling that all these people are donating to his GFM when they could just be donating directly to the hospice!!! What is wrong with these people!?

So he doesn't trust where the money will go is he donates via the website! What!? Does he think that he can dictate how the donated money will be spent!? He does realise that hospices and other charities get lots of large cash donors from individuals....most of whom do it privately. It is so crass to be so braggy about it all. Especially when he's got all of that cash from his other GFM sitting in his bank account.
 
So those scans are dated two weeks ago with evidence of severe faecal impaction but they’ve done nothing til now about it ? He’s said he’s not been on anything for his bowels even tho he’s been on morphine for ages and should he not be educated enough to monitor changes in his stoma fuction in two weeks instead of continuing to stuff his face and it not function properly ( I know that it can still function with constipation as overflow but you’d recognise that as not usual )

That's the problem with having some ,or most of your of your cancer care privately....there's often very poor communication, if in fact any between private and NHS ...
pits all ver well paying for private chemo but where were scans done and who reported them and who had this information sitting on their desk and didn't pass it on....that's why clinical nurse specialist are very useful in keeping tabs on patients and treatment/scans and reporting back to clinicians /MDT- the private nurse specialists in the community do not have the same remit as hospital based
then add hospice care into the mix and you've got a perfect tit storm
too many cooks....

Like I be said as thick as 💩 he knows he should be taking laxatives ffs
 
I’m on fentanyl patches for my cancer pain, and it’s a constant juggling act with lactulose and not eating the wrong foods, or too much food at one time.
I get fairly regular bowel obstructions and partial obstructions even with being careful.
Edited to add that I also have extensive scar tissue in my abdominal cavity from cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC

So do you take laxatives?
 
But you’re taking laxatives and aware / careful of foods and still happens
Which is normal … and you obv look after yourself ☺️ and recognise any problems
But he says he takes none and hasn’t monitored himself or his intake
I know it might because he’s v impacted but you can’t see the stoma on the ct ?

He seems to eat anything and everything too, I couldn’t eat half of what he does … he wants to be careful really

I thought lactulose just keeps your poop soft ?! 😌

It does soften it to make it easier to pass. At least that’s the idea. I have IBS and am prone to constipation and it wasn’t the best for me. I prefer psyllium husk which acts as a bulking agent. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up needing surgery to clear that, he looks in a bad way. He should definitely take more care with his diet.
