Sad to report that we began Hospice this week for my Mom.
She fought with all the strength she had, but the agressive cancer has overtaken her.
Additional mets in brain, tumors still growing in liver, lungs, abdomen, bowel.
Just too much to fight.
Hospice has been a huge blessing already.
The doctor did not give much of a time estimate, other than 1 to three months. He also added that this is a very agressive cancer.

I think if we were more agressive early on, if ipi had been available earlier…..a lot of "what ifs" running through my brain right now.
Be agressive with your options – request ipi early and the BRAF test early.
There are a lot of great new methods/drugs available and my gut tells me that if we were able to get those new therapies earlier we would have had more of a chance of recovery and more years with my Mom.
Keep fighting everyone!
Thank you for sharing, for your posts and for sharing information.
You have all been a blessing to me.
Would love any information from those who have entered Hospice from Stage IV…..what kind of time do we really have??
Thanks so much.
