Hospice can be made available once a physician determines that life expectancy is six months or less if the disease is allowed to run its normal course. Should the patient live beyond six months, hospice services will continue as long as the physician verifies that life expectancy does not exceed six months. Some patients have been with hospice for two years or longer.
