Bunny, In most states, hospice is really good.

Yes! and if the diagnosis changes for the better, you go out of hospice but the sooner a patient is in it, the better the outcome is

Right now, they are thinking in terms of weeks.

BB2K and I drove up to see her today. While we were there, the conversation turned to the fact that Friday is my parents' 61st wedding anniversary. Mom said,"we should have a party."

So, friends and family of Tom and Wynell are now invited to gather at dining room #2 of the hospital cafeteria at 2:00 on Friday afternoon to help them celebrate (as Mom said) 60 plus 1 years together. Dad is thinking maybe 20 people, but I'm wondering if he's going to need a bigger cake . . . .

I'm thinking you will need a much bigger cake

Congratulations to them. I'll be there in spirit.

I'd get a big cake, and ice cream too. I too will be there in spirit. Post pics, if you can, and would like to.

My mom died 7-12-96 after a second bout of breast cancer that spread. She was 77.
She refused chemo & radiation the first go round but she took tamoxifen. She was on it 11 years. Of course after that time they said it hadn't been studied in long term use but, after 5 yrs. of treatment - women would get recurrences of the disease. So there's that!!

How is she doing? Pain-wise, brain- wise...and emotionally?

And you?

This sure is a huge shift.

61 years of marriage is awesome!
