@bflattenor, it is unfortunate that you may not have known that your infusions were considered palliative care. While this may have been frustrating to learn, it is great that you are chipper around others and I would not want to give that up either. I have had close personal relatives go on hospice care and the experiences were positive. In some cases, hospice care simply meant more one-on-one attention but not being any more isolated than their normal routine. It is my understanding that hospice care can mean different things for each person. You mentioned previously that you were going in for an x-ray on the 30th, did you still have that? I do hope you will continue to update the community as you have been helpful to other members as well.
