I lost my sister last year to Melanoma cancer, she always told me she wanted to die at home. I want to die at home if at all possible when it's my time. Just the suroundings of home makes the patient feel more at ease, and comfortable. Please contact Vista Care Hodpice, they are the ones that took care of my sister in the end. They were there to keep her comfortable and us at the same time. Go to www.vistacare.com or call 1-800-444-1317. They should be able to help you with any questions. I'm so sorry anyone has to go through this process. God Bless you and your husband.
