What does it mean to "voluntarily enter hospice care"? Did you reject chemo and surgery?
I am 74 and just diagnosed with Stage 1 (maybe 2) adenocarcinoma in the tail of the pancreas.
I am (was) relatively healthy but I don't think I can tolerate chemo, especially Folfirinox. I would have a distal pancreatectomy if they will do it without chemo 1st. In Hospice are they just helping to manage the disease? How are you doing?
Thank you...
