Thank you for your concern and guidance.<br><br>My appointment pointed out answers to which I asked the doctor and his team.<br>First, I wrote my questions down so I wouldn't forget them, or get confused<br>during their conversation. Second, I asked the differences between my last<br>blod panel and the present one. Third, I asked "on what basis doe he as<br>an Oncologist diagnose Hospice for his patients." Fourth. What is his<br>present prognosis?<br><br>When the doctor inquired about family (which I have no local) and after his<br>exam when he felt an irregularity in my liver--next from him came "return in<br>two months--not three as normal and I suggest you have a Hospice meeting."<br><br>To me it pointed out that Hospice might be ahead and look into it carefully<br>before making a decision. For me, facing neurological problems all my life,<br>self initiative, doing, etc. has lessened depression and given me continued<br>hope. The meeting will undoubtedly clarify what will and will not take<br>place.<br><br>Kay<br>
