So sorry to hear about your partner, frightening to be confronted with a pretty bleak outlook.   I can understand your decision, now is the time to talk about everything and make memories as much as you can.   I have not suffered from cancer but have cared for loved ones who have died from it.  In my experiences the pain control seemed pretty good and they died peacefully in their own beds.  The only exception to this was my mum who died in hospital but the  hospice movement was not so well-established then.   We know we all have to die one day but that doesn't provide much comfort if you feel that that the life in question has been cut short.  My very best wishes to you and your partner.

Thank you for your reply, we are very lucky to be under hospice outpatient care, they are wonderful. My partner wants to die at home when the time comes, and the support that the hospice gives is brilliant. Will post updates on our progress.
