Hi Cathy - Can you explain a little more about what you are talking about? Palliative care is different than hospice, and can be accessed before hospice, or during a hiatus such as you are describing.
Here is a pretty good definition, "Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. Palliative care is based on the needs of the patient, not on the patient’s prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment."
Are you looking for a return to hospice, or would palliative care suit you at this point?
