Matt felt like he was just waiting for death after an incurable diagnosis, until hospice support restored his independence.

This story

After receiving an incurable brain tumour diagnosis and suffering severe mobility issues and facial pain attacks, Matt struggled to see past sitting at home and waiting to die. Hospice staff arranged counselling, mobility aids around his house, and a medication review that brought his excruciating pain under control. Now able to leave home independently again, he is focusing on spending meaningful time with his wife and children.
