My husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer 5 years ago late December. Depending how well he responded/s to chemo, it could be controllable... a chronic disease like diabetes or some other long term disease. Without too many breaks, he's been on one chemo or another ever since.
Last week, while doing his 3rd blood transfusion in 2 weeks, he asked about hospice. The oncologist said if my husband decided to stop treatment, he'd be in hospice (or end-of-life care) within six months.
That's the shadow... it's there, but not really. He started a new chemo regimen last week.
