 Refused Chemo, Transitioning to Hospice Care


Yeah, so chemo is too debilitating and you feel at death's door for 6 months.  Ain't worth it for me.  Saw my oncologist today and he does not handle palliative care, so was transferred basically to "hospice".  A bit comical bc I feel fine.  But Pancreatic Cancer is considered terminal of course with a life expectancy of 6 months or less.  Three months with no chemo is average.  But meanwhile I can enjoy life to its fullest until I can't.  Have a great support system and hospice care will come to my home and all expenses are paid by Medicare.  Long live Medicare!  lol I'll keep you all posted.
