Has been recommended and will be deciding soon whether to do it or not. Physician has recommended it but just not sure we should do it. Are the nurses and physicians on-call or do they show up randomly? Will they still allow my mom to go to an outside clinic for integrative therapy and acupuncture? I think my dad and I do need the help at home in taking care of mom but at the same time we have not given up hope! Moms cancer has gotten to her left lung and lower spine. She has a lot of pain and has a tough time standing. I still have hope for her!
