Living Appeal: Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Farnham Surrey Living Appeal

SALLY'S STORY

Sally, in her forties, lives in Farnborough with her partner and two sons. She has cancer and has been supported by the Hospice for the last year and a half.

She was initially cared for at home with weekly visits by the Community Nurse Specialist. She now comes to the Day Hospice once a week and is currently being cared for in the In-Patient Unit.

“I cannot say enough about the incredible care and kindness of the staff here at the Hospice and out in the Community. As my illness has progressed, I have had panic attacks and shortness of breath and they have really helped me to conquer this. I have experienced such a breadth of care and the services here are so well co-ordinated. If they say something is going to happen, it happens!”
