Insofar as treating a chronic condition with Palliative Care, fine; however, if the condition is Terminal and there are 6 months of life or less determined by doctor many Palliative items won't be covered by federal law that Hospice covers. Another item that can and often differs is location--United States vs Canada vs Overseas, etc.

Here is the latest, but it's not giving up--its's facing reality. I pursued with my Hospice Team, Management and Nursing Staff at residence "my need to move next door (to our Care Center and be around trained and knowledgeable personnel, should I face anything that I would be puzzled in trying to resolve on my own," Therefore, tomorrow morning I'm touring available rooms at The Care Center and preparing factors relative to end of life items--since I know it's on its way and moving slowly--as this form of cancer does. The decisions I'm making at this time, I have no second thoughts about, only the certainty that there the right ones to make and be satisfied with. From that point, I seek the safety you can attain by being around a trained staff; so that my anxiety at such a time remains in control instead of it controlling me. I'll still be in touch and keep you updated on these pursuits.
