Thanks to all who replyed to me. I just found out that the doctor is refering hospice to mom. They will be here on monday. I called them because i was curios about when and why they come to visit. Well i wish i would have not done that. The nurse that talked with me was sooooooo very nice and informative…. but she also so said things that i wasn’t expecting to hear. (Not Her Fault) .She told me that hospice gets involved when the doc feels like there is nothing more they can do for the paitent. And when the paitent has 6 months or less left. OMG my heart drop to the floor. I knew mom was going down hill quick but not that quick. We just got the diagnos early im may. But what i did learn is the Cholangiocarcinoma was not the factor here it is the non small cell lung cancer ( very aggresive ). So i ask the nurse if she knew anything about NSCLC she said yes her mom died from it. Mom is having very sharp pains in her left temple shooting to her ear so i ask her could the cancer have spread to her head or brain that fast and she informed me yes it can. I was so sick. Thats why i couldn’t understand that if cholangio was slow growing why mom was so sick…. now i know. Here i thought i would have at least a year and maybe we still will. I just want to ask everyone on here to pray for my loving mom and i will pray for each and everyone of you. If anyone on here has experinced the NSCLC please respond and let me know what to expect and if this is painful. thanks to all
