My friend has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Was diagnosed in November 2022. She is barely eating. Maybe just a couple bites of fruit and rice or sweet potato. I believe she is scared of eating because of the pain she feels. She is now constipated. Liver is also compromised. Under morphine every 2-3 hours. Is there anything one can do or say to make her feel any better? She decided not to go through chemo. The doctor said she would have need it for life every week. She has been subscribed to receive the service of hospice because she does not apply for Medicare nor Medicaid. Would it be risky to sit her in a wheelchair and drive her to the beach which she loves? Do you know if I would need a special permit from the people at hospice to do this? Thank you.
