End of life

My sister is currently with me at home in a hospital bed.

She has Glioblastoma (brain cancer) we was told by her oncologist she has anything from 2 weeks to 3 months to live. 
It will be 2 weeks this Thursday, my sister is getting no better, she more or less has every tick on the list of end of life, the strange thing is she always is ok when she wakes in morning for a few hours , then the rest of the day she sleeps and has non stop seizures, breathing difficulties, confusion, lack of appetite, it's so cruel all this.

Mu question is, do I ring the hospice for advise, and would they arrange transport to the hospice if needed? As she is non mobile plus double incontinant too.  
 

thanks for reading x

  • Hello,

    Have to strongly disagree with reply from SJP92, particularly as they say they did not have the right care and medication at home.

    It appears that medical help is no longer an option for your sister and brave on you for having the courage to take care of her at home 24/7. 

    I think you should definitely try to get your sister into a hospice where they will take very good care of her and also help you with all that you are going through - so ring them first thing in the morning!.

    Best Wishes (You are not alone)
