Glad to hear they're being honest with you. I wish my fathers doctors were as honest with us. It was such a shock that he declined the way he did when they were telling us months.
Update on her status, still pretty stable, still walking in the house and can get in and out of the car herself, (takes a lot of time, but by herself). Biggest quality of life issue is the motion nausea. 80% of the time, if she has to be driven somewhere and then transferred to her wheelchair she vomits. Rarely while in the car, almost inclusively following a car ride then a transfer to her wheelchair. She vomits, needs about 20 minutes and then feels pretty good. It just is emotionally draining on her and how she perceives others who are around her. She'd love to get out more but the idea of going through that every time is disheartening.
Hospice is end of life treatment. Palliative is intense pain reduction. There are nursing homes that have apartments and have around the clock care, but not for dementia. Are you sure its not just the cancer and not dementia? I was so sick for months after my cancer tumor was gone and just slept a lot. I slept until my hazy white glow diminished.
