If your medical situation becomes severe, sign up with hospice services. This usually requires a prognosis of six months or less to live, but hospice doesn't mean you give up all hope for recovery. You can always cancel hospice when you get better. In the meantime, their services can be quite helpful in making you more comfortable, both physically and psychologically. For more information about your hospice benefits, call your insurance company, talk to a health social services person at your hospital, or contact your local hospice services directly.
