A very dear friend of mine who has bladder cancer has been told that she now is at Stage 4 with metastasis to the spine and pelvis. She has been given a prognosis of 3-6 months survival. She is presently at an in-patient hospice facility and is returning to her home shortly and will be receiving at-home hospice care alone. Does anyone have any advice on this? I am quite startled that she would be discharged to her home alone, however at this point in time, she is not acute enough to remain at the Hospice.
