Re: My dad started Hospice yesterday
 I am so sorry to hear this.
My grandfather was in hospice so I have a little experience with it.
No one can predict how long someone has, but you can ask the people their for their opinion.
My mom found a wonderful counselor at my grandfather's hospice. I would definitely recommend that you and/or your mother talk to someone there. It just can't hurt to get your feelings off your chest, and these are people who specialize in these kings of issues.

Re: My dad started Hospice yesterday
Hospice is a hard thing for families and a patient to accept sometimes, but the care is usually the best
I hope your dad remains comfortable.

Re: My dad started Hospice yesterday
I just want to thank everyone for the prayers, responses, and FMs. I'm still trying to let this sink in...it seemed to happen so fast. Dad was diagnosed in April and started treatment in May. I knew that there wouldn't be a remission, the cancer was too advanced for that, but I had hoped that the chemo and radiation would have slowed the progression of the cancer down. It didn't stop it one bit. Dad is finally getting some pain relief and I'm grateful for that. After reading all the experiences here, I'm so glad that there is something like Hospice.

my dad has alzheimer's and has hospice care at home. He has been in their services over a year. He is in good hands, as well as your family. I pray that you and your family have strength during these times
