I may have had said before that he can?t have a biopsy, Keemo or anything invasive to treat him.    They think, but are not completely sure that those Nodules in his lung  may be Cancer.    So, we signed on with Hospice in our home.    He DID NOT watt to go to a Nursing Home.    He wants to be at home with me.

> > Has anyone experienced Hospice for their loved one?    I don?t understand why they don?t want him to take any of his many many pills anymore except the comforting ones.  Like for pain or allergies etc.    If he stops all his meds, won?t that speed up the process of him going sooner?    I have to confirm that with the nurse today.
