Hi Lori,

My husband went on hospice in September. They have been very good to him. He doesnt listen to me but will do what they tell him. He is in a lot of pain daily but still suffers because her doesnt want to take pain meds all the time. He still hasnt accepted he has little time left. He wont do blood work so we dont know how much his cancer has progressed. He still thinks he is going to get better.

I’m relieved for both of you that your husband is in hospice. This takes the onus off of you for trying to get him to comply with taking his medications, bp, glucose checks, etc.. I know you want only the best for him and golly, he is doing his best to remain stubborn. ☺️ I guess if he’s in denial about how much his cancer has progressed, it keeps him hopeful for positive outcome and that’s admirable. Sending a hug for both of you.
