[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, have done hospice with both my parents. It really depends on what you want. The hospice doctor can take over completely and it can be done in home or in a care setting (either hospital or hospice facility). Many think hospice doesn't mean treatment but they can still receive treatment. My dad also had amyloidosis -- cardiac diagnosed at 60 via symptoms which means he probably had it for at least a decade before. He too had renal failure and a whole host of other issues especially being ambulatory which lead to many falls. So gently..... dialysis is a terrible way of life. My dad, while only 65 tried it and was just too much. Really think about qualify of life over quantity which is really hard right now. I am sorry you are dealing with this. Wishing you the best during this time.[/quote]
