Pretty much everyone has been positive in their opinion on hospice services. It's just in my case there seemed to be some confusion as to what constituted "hospice". My oncologist thinks I'm on regular care, my palliative care doctor thinks I'm on hospice; obviously there's a communication problem but I'm not aware of any actual "I hereby denounce my cancer care and sign up for hospice" form.
