Anyone have experience with hospice care? Chemo/immunotherapy aren’t helping mom this time. Her cancer has spread to her liver, the bones of her pelvis, and lymph system. The oncologist recommended hospice care. I would welcome any wisdom/information you guys have to offer.
@TRantosaurus I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm a strong supporter of hospice care but I have no idea what's available to you in your area. It is so important to offer dignity and comfort. We were able to do this for my mother from her own home. My SIL was at the forefront of palliative care back in the 80s when hospices were first available, so it was easy for us. Stay strong and get the support you need.

Sorry, I used to work for hospice and have had many relatives in hospice. It very much varies by where you are but this kind of nursing can really help. I don't have any experience on how they manage during this pandemic. I would ask a trusted faith person or social worker. ❤️
