After five days at the hospice everything changed. <\/p>\n
“The effect of the painkillers, medication and the disease was such that we had to stop all visitors,” said Bain.<\/p>\n
He then became “almost unable to communicate, it was that rapid.”<\/p>\n
Hamilton said many people still hold misconceptions about hospice care.<\/p>\n
“There’s a perception about hospices that it is all about dying but actually our teams of nurses and clinicians really try and take the burden away,” she said. <\/p>\n
“You can have the right quality of life and quality of death with the right teams around.”<\/p>\n
As a thank you for the charity’s support, Bain is raising money for St Peter’s Hospice and has decided to take part in the Tour de Bristol bike ride. <\/p>\n
