All the money raised from this event will go towards helping patients like Roger and his family - in the Hospice, at the Beacon Centre, or at home.
Why we need you Phyllis Tuckwell provides supportive and end of life care to patients and families affected by cancer, or another serious progressive illness. We manage patients’ pain and improve quality of life for them and their relatives and carers. At our Day Hospice, patients can socialise, attend doctors’ appointments and access therapies in a relaxed and supportive environment. Those who need to stay at the Hospice are cared for on our In-Patient Unit, while our Hospice Care At Home nurses look after patients who wish to remain at home. We also hold day groups, assessments and therapies at the Beacon Centre in Guildford. Our care helps people such as Roger Mockford, and his wife Liz.

July 2014 - Roger is referred to Phyllis Tuckwell.
A keen sportsman, Roger had always been fit and healthy, but after a bout of pneumonia left him with breathing difficulties, he was referred for tests. Doctors discovered heart problems and a bone tumour, and Roger was started on a course of radiotherapy. However, he soon developed chronic stomach cramps, as the treatment had stopped his digestive system from functioning properly. The right side of Roger’s heart was failing and he was admitted to hospital, where a pacemaker was fitted, but then his kidneys failed. He was moved from observation wards to isolation wards, until eventually a consultant in the Palliative Care team referred him to Phyllis Tuckwell. “I just thought, ‘that’s it, my time’s up’,” he says.

Roger began a series of weekly Day Hospice sessions, where he received physiotherapy to strengthen his muscles and regain his mobility. Acupuncture relieved the pain in his legs and knees, and an occupational therapist visited him at home to evaluate his need for specialized equipment. He also began seeing a psychologist and a hypnotherapist, to combat his anxiety. Now, instead of using a wheelchair, Roger is able to walk with a frame, and for short journeys uses just one stick. “His confidence and physical strength have increased so much,” beams Liz proudly. We have also cared for Liz, who has attended a Carer’s Pampering Day, where she had a make-over, haircut and massage, and Wellbeing Workshops, where she and Roger have learnt relaxation techniques.

“This is one of the happiest places,” says Liz. “Everybody is so positive. They have time to talk and make you feel special.” “Coming here has given us a future,” says Roger.
