127. yes Kaiser does suck!
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 10:58 AM by CountAllVotes
The year after my mother died of cancer, next was my sister the following year. Same diagnosis metastasized cancer, point of origin unknown. She had Kaiser and they told her she had less than 6 months to live. She did not opt for Hospice. She went on with her life best she could and had a whole bunch of chemotherapy via Kaiser for 9 long months. Why they did this given her diagnosis and chances for recovery were >5% is beyond me other than the dollar sign. :grr:

She fell in the bathroom about 8 months after the diagnosis. She ended up back in Kaiser and died there that night.

I did not blame her for not wanting Hospice. I guess seeing what happened to our mother the year before was enough for her too.
