I'm so sorry for your family.  It is never easy watching a loved one in
pain.  I'm glad you are getting hospice for your sister.  The ones in our
area are great.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Beth t the OT

Subject: a report on my sister

   well, i went to see betty, my younger sister, this past weekend. in the 1
month since i had seen her, she had went down drastically. she did not get
out of bed at all while we visited.
    tonight i talked to my older sister ,trisha. she said betty went to her
doctor and the doctor told her that the chemo was not slowing the cancer at
all and that she was discontining giving it to her. she will set up hospice
care for betty. she wrote more stronger meds for pain.
   trisha said probably april or may at the latest would probably be it.  it
is hard seeing her in so much pain.
