Suffering from stage 4 small cell cancer. Spread to lungs, liver, brain. Currently at nursing home. Shift to hospital?
Patient: My sister has stage 4 small cell cancer . Her cancer is in the lungs, liver , and brain. She has now a fever of 101. She is at a nursing home. The doctor had lab test done (BNT & UA). The nursing home is asking her daughter and I if we want my sister to go to the hospital. Would the hospital be a better choice for my sister or not? Doctor: Dear loretta, You have rightly said that your sister has stage 4 cancer. shifting her to nursing home or to the hospital will be in her best interest as she will get better palliative and terminal care which you canot provide her at home. you will be also comfortable and she will also be comfortable. truly, Dr. j.
