can’t do anything more for Tom.    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.

Please pray that at this difficult time for Tom  and myself will go as
smoothly as possible.

comforting to know.    Right now, I am concentrating on Tom and making him
comfortable.

binding  contract or anything.
> 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.
