My Mom has cancer @ she is looking for good layer (san diego)

Hi, I am so sorry about your Mom, if you don't get any replies perhaps you could call the patient hot line tomorrow and see if they can offer you some constructive ideas http://www.melanoma.org/learn-more/patient-reference-guide/free%20patient%20hotline

I have no experience and am reading between the lines,  but is she wanting access to treatments while under the care of hospice by any chance?  If that is the case, then perhaps this study might be of interest to you http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1000678 and also this article http://www.miller-mccune.com/health/hospice-may-trump-heroic-measures-in-life-expectancy-21098/

Good luck to you helping your mom, I'm sure she appreciates your efforts very much, take care, linda
