I don't have any hospice information yet,hopefully she can do it from home, it's a touchy situation to bring up for me because I am still somewhat in disbelief that this is really happening to her, she was diagnosed in June and I still have trouble even thinking about any of this stuff knowing that we will lose her soon, which I will be devastated. my sister is such a wonderful, thoughtful,caring person,this world needs a few more of her,but instead we will lose her to this terrible,unfair disease. she did do just the 1 round of chemo and it stole all of her hair, the 1 thing she didn't want to happen. (she is a cosmetologist and has done hair for almost 40 years). on a positive note she is taking it better than any of us thought she would, and has actually came up with great ideas like somehow attaching hair from a wig to a cute hat that she likes and it looks amazing. I will miss her dearly, sorry I just realized that I am just going on and on. and yes any hospice information would be much appreciated. god bless and thank you for your feedback.

Please know, @tnt69, that you never need to apologize for, "I just realized that I am just going on and on." You are in a stressful situation, and we all have been there. Continue to post and let us encourage you as best we can.

@tnt69, denial is a part of this journey you, your sister, your family didn't choose to take. I think you might appreciate this article about how hope and denial can work together and how hope can be reframed.

Hospice care includes a team of people from doctors to nurses to social workers to chaplains that work with anyone in the family that can use comfort and care. I want you to know that you can call your local hospice and ask about services available for you, to help you accept and to learn what you can expect.
