I've been back in and out of the hospital, you know, every, every month for the past, you know, five months, whatever. And they say, great, we're going to have, we'll ask a hospice program, you know, person to come in. Oftentimes hospitals have palliative care teams. Okay. In hospital services who can come in, they're not hospice. Right. Palliative care, but they can come in. They're well-trained.

They will have those conversations with you. And together you'd say, you know, I think I'd like to go with hospice. Got it.

Yes, yes. These are family conversations. And then while you're still in the hospital, either they can get hospice to come in to see you, but hospice really can't enroll you until you're home. Okay, so it might be, Stan, we're going to send you home tomorrow morning, and tomorrow afternoon, there's a hospice program that's going to come out and talk with you.

Hopefully they could come in and say hi to you while you're in the hospital and say, Stan, we'll, you know, we'll see you tomorrow after you get out and we'll get everything together. Talk about your, you know, your symptoms, making you, you know, comfortable, et cetera.

Oftentimes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it could also be, you know, friends, friends and family, people who have had experience with that. The information can come from anywhere. This is one interesting point. People with very advanced lung cancer, they just looked at people who just received the regular treatment of chemotherapy, all that stuff, and people who had all that same treatment.

In addition, they also got palliative care, not hospice, but palliative care, which again is designed to focus on symptom control, et cetera. People with the same prognosis for cancer If they also received palliative care, they lived a month or two longer than people who just received remissive care.

Well, the symptom management. It's more because then your mindset is there, your mental stuff. is really the mind can do really big things for us and so so that's just another thing why trying to get people involved early and that's why you see you know people asking for support in the obituary and they talk about how great hospice was and and my family say i i wish
