Sorry about this toot, just need to offload!
My cachexia has now officially been diagnosed as refractory cachexia (meaning the #cancer treatments are no longer working). I have no heat in minus temps as it's too expensive, and my home is ridiculously damp. We also have regular power cuts upcoming thanks to Tory mismanagement.
I foresaw a lot of possibilities for my end of life care, but this was not one of them. In the dark, freezing, and damp!
Oh well. C'est la vie.
🤷♀️
I am sorry the government there is not stepping in to help you as it should. I do not know if it helps to know that I care about you and this horrid way you are being treated...neglected actually...but please, know that I do care.
@AndersonArtwork The Goverment iniitially gave us some (a small amount) of money towards the fuel bills, but THEN refused to put up sickness benefits in line with inflation - they are now 10% below inflation for first time ever. So they took the money back essentially. Food is almost tripled in price too. Fortunately the cachexia means I'm barely able to eat, but it's just ridiculous. All of it.
But thankyou, it DOES help to know that others care and so thank you so much. xx
@Florence
Far too often...the governments humans come up with cater to the wealthy rather than ask the wealthy to help those with less.
So they become myopic to the true existential conditions of those in need while they magnify the wants of those doing the best
Needs should never be negotiable while unfulfilled & wants should always be fulfilled last.
