Robin,

I'm so very very sorry your sister's illness is at this point. This must be very ghard for you. It seems to me that the biggest thing you can do for her right now is to be sure she is not in unnecessary pain. Hospice people will know best how to control the pain but if there is any delay in getting her in a hospice somewhere, push whoever is giving her medications now for soemthing that is stronger. I realize complete pain management isn't always possible but it sounds like she's been shortchanged in thorough medical care already becuase she has no insurance, I hope that isn't happening again.
