Sandy, palliative care is not the same as hospice. Palliative care focuses on comfort and management of symptoms. Palliative care is very useful at any time during the cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment and when treatment ends or is no longer working.
Metastasis means he has "advanced" cancer, which means it has spread. This doesn't mean a faster growing cancer or advanced speed. Does that answer your question?
Oops I meant Colleen.... stupid phone. Lol
