I am officially in hospice [View all]
I talked with a representative of the hospice company last week and made the decision to discontinue my cancer treatment. My life might last longer, but at what physical cost? I'm never going to be cured, and the drug he wanted to place me on next would have made me very sick and compromised my immune system. My doc didn't give me too much of a fight, thank goodness, and the nurse and representative came to have me do paperwork yesterday.
Some people might think I am "giving up," but I see it as a move toward my freedom. In any case, I was sicker than a dog for the past two days (partly due to anxiety), but today I almost feel back to my old self. I am not planning to die anytime soon, I just want to be comfortable in the time leading up to my next adventure.
