My mum has just been diagnoised with terminal lung cancer and her Mcmillan nurse has suggested that we buy her an inflatable cushion to make her more comfy when she sits down.
We have searched high and low, Argos-Boots-even our local lesiure centre but no luck.
Has anybody got any idea where we can find a such cushion?

Boots do them, you have to ask for them to be ordered in...ask any assistant and they will show you the catalogue and do it for you x

Jackie the best people to ask of course is the hospital staff themselves one of them will direct you surely!!if not go online and find out from surgical supplies or get on NHS website

I'm so sorry for your news....You need to find a medical outlet....one that provides Doctors instruments...which area do you live in...I'll try and source one for you. I used to live in Croydon and there is one in Streatham. If you need any support, my Grandmother passed from cancer and my mum took care of her at home.

you can usually buy them in the £1 shops. i know this is a cheap option but i have several that i keep in the car for long journeys and they do the job.
or why not try the bath pillows you can get as they are usually covered with towelling.

Try you local mobility aids centre. They do equipment for disabilities and illnesses, that require specialist items.
