I'm 29 years old and I have stage 4 terminal brain cancer. I have months left to live. I'm on hospice care and they do an amazing job when they see me every week.
My mother is on hospice care right now. She has been suffering from Stage 4 Glioblastoma since March 19th 2019, which is a very long time. Prayers are appreciated
My best friend is currently taking care of her mother in law while she passes. Hospice has been involved, but it’s extremely different than what I thought. I thought they were there around the clock assisting the family. She is literally in the last phase and will be passing very soon. However, I really thought the Hospice professionals would stay there for the end. Rather than just an hour each day. I’m not trying to sound negative about them, they have been such a blessing. I’m just confused about what happens for the last few hours. Thank you very much.
Sounds lovely but I've been through hospice with many of family member and the bottom line is family has to take over the responsibility for administrative medication the nurse comes maybe once maybe twice a week the bathing is once or twice a week the rest is all up to the family and the family doesn't get any support unless they are a big family if it's a small family you're on your own and Hospice provides very little Daily support. If you think that putting your loved 1 in hospice at home is going to free your time your much lead deluded you will be tied to that situation day and night and it will be extremely distressing. I know hospital willing tended but you need to be more honest about what people can expect in terms of support cause it just isn't there and I think multiple hospital is actually

45 years female nurse worked in Adult care nursing for 18 years, currently working as a volunteer nurse in Africa. May I have the opportunity to work in your organization?
Has there been any cases of someone recovering and getting off hospice? Or is hospice just treatment to keep a patient comfortable for when they're on their way out?
It can happen believe it or not. I just spoke to someone with a stage 4 cancer Dx, who was put on inpatient hospice, but got stronger/better, and was able to go home with family. I’d never heard of anything like this before now. Miracles happy everyday! 🥰
This is a little late but I was on Hospice for 7 months following a diagnosis of terminal liver cancer. I seen a nurse once a week or less. Every discomfort was immediately addressed with a prescription until I had a box of 14 different pills, even though none of my symptoms were something anyone would associate with liver cancer. No yellowing, no swelling. I finally just stopped taking everything except morphine and I got better. That was over 2 years ago.
These hospices put a 6 months countdown timer in front of each patient's bed. This is to facilitate the patient in understanding how much time they have left. After the timer is complete, if the patient still doesn't die, the hospice nurses kill them. It's philosophical to the families. I don't really understand why anyone would abandon their loved ones to die here instead of trying till the last??

Do they treat the patients right or are they mistreated and assaulted like at old folks homes?
Is there a place in Irving, tx

What is the primary goal when caring for a hospice care
I think the primary goal for hospice care is comfort and dignity during transitioning.

Haha you're a funny comedian
Ok why do they keep saying end of life. I hear others say no diesnt mean that. I wish they would offer therapy if ur awake n can make progress
What is?a place for a person to live out their life in hell.Horrible.Disredpectful to patients and families.All they care about is money.
Thanks Mr. Sunshine
