  1. We only had Hospice for 3 weeks for my Mom, and they were great. We could call them at anytime. They had 3 nurses and we met all 3. One of nurse came out at 1am on a sunday and she lived about 50 miles from us and after she took care of Mom (Mom was ok we just panic and called them) she sat with us for a few hours just talking to us. They offer to bath Mom and everything else but we took care of all moms care Mom had great support from all the family and friends. A few weeks after we lost Mom my sister-in-law got me to go to a basketball ball to watch my nephew play and to get my mind off of everything. As soon as I sat down there was Carrie the nurse(her son was on one other team) there to give me a hug and asking about Dad and the rest of the family. Within 3 weeks they were like family friends. They are there to make sure that there is no pain. Mom got to where she would not talk to us, and they explain that was part of the process, that she was pushing us away thinking that it would be easier on us as the end was near, and that not to let it hurt our feeling. We are gald that we got Hospice for Mom. We had the choice of Hospice or a long term place the Doctor told us they could see that Mom had wonderful support and that he could see that we could care for Mom at home but He would not let her suffer and that Hospice would be able to get the pain med. to her at anytime she has out or need more. And each time a Nurse would come for a check up on Mom we had to show how much pain med Mom had. I had to sign a form that I would make sure no one got in to Mom pain Med. I sure other on here will tell you how Hospice for was them. I found the site Dec. 2006 and I was on here reading everything the people here are great.Mom has been gone since Nov 10 and I still come back here checking on everone. The thing I learn about Lung Cancer here let me know what to ask the Doctors about. I just wish I had got Mom to switch dr. sooner. (sorry this is a long post)
  2. My mom had Brain nets also. She had 10 treatment of Whole head Rad. We took her to Lexington to see Dr. B Young and had gamma knife on Aug 10th so far so good. She will have another MRI in Nov. I found this site in Dec 2006 but I just joined today. Each time I need to know something I would find the answer here. I feel like I know all of the reg posters. Now I need to learn how to post Moms treatments.
