On hospice

[rsgdmd]

I haven't posted often but found this forum helpful. My journey is near the end. Started hospice earlier this week. Peace everyone.

Forgot to ask how to be removed from the forum and from getting emails. Thanks.

Sorry to hear of the progression of your disease.

So sorry to hear this. I really had high hopes that Keytruda would work for you. Hoping that hospice keeps you comfortable and free of pain.

After reading your bio you've been through alot. I wish you had a longer run and better luck with your treatments. Prayers to you and your family as you transition to the other side.

Hi rsgdmd you don't have to delete your account I think your post about ketamin was extremely interesting and could be helpful to others on the same path as you , it was very interesting and helpful to me ( my husband Geoff has prostate cancer ) , no one else has posted anything quite like that so you could leave it

I hope you are comfortable God Bless

The post on Xerostomia is also exceptional and I am relying on it now. If you do delete your account you should reach out to Darryl before hand to find a way to archive some of your very informational posts.

Thank you for your posts and for doing the trial, which helps all of us. I'm sad that you didn't catch a break, you really have thrown everything at your pc. As already written, may your time in hospice be long and pain free.

[skiingfiend]

God bless you man. I hope you get a long, pain free run on Palliative Care/Hospice.

I am currently on the Palliative Care program in Vancouver, BC, Canada (6 months or less left to live) and am wondering if Hospice fits into my end-of-life plan. I live at home with my wife and our preference is for me to die at home.

Why did you decide to enter Hospice?

brother I respect your choice to enter hospice. I’ve been there myself but escaped, for a while , at least. I know how heavily this weighs on you ….and the broad range of implications in your life / family as well. My friend Mark , Urang on this group was sent home to home hospice from the V.A. and he played with his computers and puttered in his garden ( with the help of a truckload of fentanyl ) for three additional years. He was comfortable and got that final additional time with his family.

Please hang around , if you feel comfortable with this, and keep us guys …… right on your trail behind you ….. informed of how things go, maybe impart some experience and or wisdom as your final choices develop. Pretty much none of us know what to expect and speaking for myself, worry that things may not go smoothly or wonder if there are choices to be made, what they might be. We’ll , your brothers , be here to lend a reassuring ear or comforting ehug if you need one. I understand completely, how you might want private solace with family instead.

I’m hoping you , like Urang, have years left in the tank …. Best wishes and a big fuzzy ehug for you brother.

❤️❤️❤️

I would personally want my time on hospice to be -short- and pain free….if death is in the cards why put it off if not fully functional?

Our best wishes for comfort and peace to you and your loved ones.

[rfgh20]

I'm so sorry.

[Istomin]

I send you strength and wish you peace.

[HotRod4321]

You are not alone as we will all follow in your footsteps.

Lord, grant me the strength to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference.

Most think that the key words are the nouns strength, serenity and wisdom; but I say that the key words are the verbs change, accept and knowing. If one practices those verbs throughout their lifetime then they will have earned the nouns.

Godspeed in your journey!

[Mgtd in reply to HotRod4321]

Hot Rod really want to thank you for that post really made me reflect.

[Leaffan57]

hang in there

[Tinuriel]

Looks like you've done all you could to make it this far. I'm moved by your persistence. Praying for you to have the peace of God in the days ahead.

[tsim]

I really hope you decide not to delete your account. I cried as soon as I saw the title. (Your journey being close to home for me) I echo what everyone else is saying here. We need your post more than ever now if you’re up to it. God bless you and let’s hope in the mysteries of the universe that its only a new beginning in some other dimension.
