Living With Hospice

Thank you so much for this. It is the hospice process explained simply and clearly, with compassion and empathy. I think it is what so much of us are looking for, just a no nonsense, let’s get right to the nuts and bolts of how this difficult process works, from an *I’m just a human trying to understand this because they don’t teach it in school* point of view. Again, your ability to explain these things, in podcasts that aren’t an hour long, with nurses and doctors talking about everything under the sun and going off track all the time, is perfect! Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your story and experience. Wishing everyone peace and comfort. - Zack

Doing a Podcast is beyond a gift that most people have no idea how much effort it takes. Thank you Mitch for you gift ! 🎁

Begin Hospice 9 weeks ago, at Home. Very pleased thus far with the caring and compassionate staff. Diagnosed with metastatic Prostate cancer two years ago. Mets x11. Age: 63. I felt I was in a free fall for all this time, treatment options. Recent and last surgical procedure to remove tumor from my neck to curtail affect of spinal cord compression was in February. No chemo - refused. Hormone therapy discontinued. Only outside of the box treatment is Vitamin C IV therapy. Which after 4 treatments and later a full body scan revealed tumors were shrinking. But the damage is done. I’m losing use of my left arm and hand. Both legs. - which lead to surgery. And right arm and hand are following with tremors and pain. Fatigue and pain are prevalent daily. That’s all I have for now. Thank you and Jahs blessing. I’m pleased with the hospice treatment related to pain management.

I’m a clinical social worker and I’ve worked with patients near death for many years. This podcast would be a great help to anyone who has questions or doesn’t know how to speak with a loved one who may be near death.
