Is there any reason Hospice can’t come to the home? They could provide morphine to keep him comfortable. Their focus is keeping him pain free. They easily recognize when the time is near and could assist with the process.

That is something i will look into after I talk to the oncology doctor. If I can reach him. I usually have to talk to the nurse. I have no idea if he is close to the end time yet, but it would not hurt to ask. He gets angry that he is in this position and he gets so frustrated. I don't blame him. I feel so sorry that he or anyone has to go through this battle. the difference with Joe, he does not want to do the things they tell him he could to do ease his suffering. He says he wants to live so I am afraid if I bring up hospice care, he would really be upset. I dont see him getting anyworse but I see no improvement, either.
but that is definitely something that I will look into. Perhaps I will ask some questions without him knowing.
this cancer stuff is such a horrible situation to anyone to be in.

We have met with hospice. They won’t help until Bill stops all treatments. We are still treating with Imunotherapy.
