Gynecologic neuroendocrine metastasized to lungs: Need a specialist

I am so sorry to hear this. I helped with a friend in hospice and my-mother-in-law as well. Hospice helped so much. We relied on the nurses, doctors, and wonderful chaplains. If it lines up with how you approach things, use the resources available. I was also a hospice volunteer and really connected to "my" patient. Sometimes hospice can provide massage, music, volunteer vigil, and more. And most importantly--pain control. Right now I'm facing a poor prognosis and very limited time but I must say that knowing I can go into hospice is a huge comfort. I wish you all the best.

Thank you. We are with hospice but I am very sad that we are not able to get alternate treatments or any treatments due to the fact moms tumor is in her uterus and too painful for her to get up. So she can’t sit up because she’s sitting on the tumor and no one will come to the house to do alternative treatments like IV vit C or ozone therapy. Mom wants to fight and I don’t have th heart to tell her we can’t find any inpatient hospitals for cancer or alternative with in patient or anywhere wanting to see her on a stretcher. If I could and knew how, I’d be hooking her up to a vit C infusion. Just isn’t right that if someone is in a postition that they are bed ridden due to their tumor they don’t deserve to get treatment.
