The lady who has helped me to raise my two little girls for 6 years was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer that had already spread to her liver about 3 weeks ago. She was released from the hospital into Hospice. She is at home, and the Hospice nurse comes when she is paged. She has a hard time keeping any food down, and has thrown up so much that I am concerned about dehydration. I have got her to drink pedialyte, but paged the nurse to inquire about intavenous rehydration in case. The nurse said that would not be an option, unless she signed out of the program. Can someone help me understand why?

How to get started is very helpful information, but it also sounds like doing so may prove to be difficult, and I am curious to know why this might be so. "Steely persistence" should not be necessary if I am dealing with a caring and compassionate organization who's sole purpose is to provide care to the dying. Just asking.

The articles are very good. My husband died of brain cancer and we did have Hospice. The staff and couselors and nurses were so caring, they. made it easy for me to be the main caretaker. All the medicines were provided for palliative care.
Questions answered, support given . All I can say is, thank you
