Someone in family has gastic cancer

inside and outside of stomach

never told what stage etc (think was kept from us)

did chemo, finished and stopped due to weakness etc & now getting quite ill - not eating, nausea, pain, fluid that needs draining etc.

just been told he is going to a hospice to get strong is this even a thing hospices do? It feels a lie.

My family have said he is too weak to do treatment so going to a hospice to get comfortable stop pain etc - get strong - then look at whats possible to be done? Is this even something thats done? I cant imagine a convo where Dr says go go here get strong then see? And done under hospice care, im sorry for going on but wonder if this is another fib im being told.
